In spring, when most plants are just waking up from their winter slumber, 'Rocky Road Violet Blue' Creeping Phlox is blanketed with sky-blue blooms. Long-lasting flowers help to feed the bees and other pollinators when little else is in bloom. An exceptionally drought-tolerant variety, this native cultivar thrives in rocky soil and on slopes. Easy-to-grow and deer-resistant, Creeping Phlox readily spreads to form a dense, lush mat of foliage for attractive groundcover all season. (Phlox subulata)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Blooming Creeping Phlox are a sight to behold, and 'Rocky Road Violet Blue' Creeping Phlox (PP#32288) puts on an exceptional show with sky-blue flowers. An exceptionally drought-tolerant variety, it readily spreads to form a dense, lush carpet in a rock garden, in rocky soils, and on banks and slopes where other plants struggle. Creeping Phlox is easy-care, deer-resistant, and long-lived, making it a favorite perennial and a great choice for beginning gardeners. Grown in full sun and well-drained soil, it will reward you with vigorous growth and incredible blooms. Plant en masse to create a lush, low-maintenance groundcover or no-mow lawn alternative. Phlox subulata is native to eastern North America, and ‘Rocky Road Violet Blue’ is a cultivar of the native species.
