Drummond’s Pink Creeping Phlox – 6 Pack Of 1 Gallon Pots

Phlox subulata ‘Drummond’s Pink’

A highly adaptable and very easy plant anyone can grow, Drummonds Pink Creeping Phlox heralds the arrival of spring like no other flowering perennial groundcover plant. The dense carpets of emerald-green evergreen foliage becomes literally smothered in late winter to early spring in the South or mid-spring in the North with wonderfully fragrant deep pink flowers that are the largest we’ve seen among the species. Absolutely stunning in mass plantings on embankments or in borders. We have this one and several other varieties covering a sunny embankment in our gardens. It’s one of those plants that makes us always look forward to seeing it bloom…partly because of the flower show and partly because we know that spring has arrived!

Drummond’s Pink Creeping Phlox is exceptionally easy to grow in a variety of soils. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil however grows well in sandy or gravely soils and tolerates hot, dry exposures better than most other Phlox species. As with so many other perennial plants, constantly soggy soils can be problematic. The best flowering is in full sun. Though not necessary, spent flower stems can be cut back or sheared to form a more dense carpet and possible rebloom. Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Feed in spring with an organic plant food.
