Description
'Violet Pinwheels' Creeping Phlox is a true garden knockout with its notched, perky purple flowers with upturned petals. Long blooming and fragrant, it will wake up your garden in early spring and flower from 4 to 6 weeks! Low mounds of dark green needle-like foliage, that is soft to the touch, slowly spread to form mounds of 18" in three years. Plant ‘Violet Pinwheels’ in well-drained, compost enriched garden soil in a sunny to light shade spot. Good drainage is essential for thriving plants. Deer resistant and a pollinator favorite. Plant ‘Violet Pinwheels’ in a rock garden or at a path’s edge. It can accompany many of spring’s bulbs such as Hyacinth, Daffodils, and Tulips. Try planting a flowing area between rocks and create your own “river of bloom.” It will bloom all spring and give you a velvety green river the rest of the year.
