Creeping Phlox Collection - 24 Plugs

The plugs should be planted in the spring as soon as the danger of hard frost has passed and the soil has begun to warm.

Creeping Phlox is hardy and generally does not require winter protection once established in the ground.

Yes, they work very well in wide, shallow containers, provided the pot has good drainage holes.

Water regularly during the first season until established. Afterward, they are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from watering during prolonged dry spells.

They prefer full sun; in full shade, they will likely become 'leggy' and produce very few, if any, flowers.

Creeping Phlox is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, though it is always best to prevent pets from consuming garden plants.

Ensure they are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day; lack of light is the most common cause of poor flowering.

This is often a sign of overwatering or poor soil drainage; ensure the plants are in a spot that does not hold standing water.

Check that the soil is not overly compacted and that the plants have adequate space; light fertilizing in early spring can encourage more vigorous growth.
