Blooms cover a rounded, spreading plant a few days to a week ahead of standard creeping phlox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows moderately in its first year, then fills in to make a groundcover about 6 to 8 inches tall and nearly 3 feet wide. Use it to edge paths, drape over walls or fill a sunny rock garden. Butterflies and bees visit in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStar-shaped flowers about 3\/4 to 1 inch across have five notched petals in soft lilac-purple, a paler ring around the center and a deep purple starburst at the eye. The flowers cover the plant so thickly that little foliage shows. Leaves are small, narrow and green on trailing stems. The plant forms a rounded, spreading mat about 6 to 8 inches tall and 32 to 38 inches wide. At peak bloom it is a broad cushion of lilac flowers with dark starry centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreeping phlox likes the same sun and well-drained soil as lavender, and its lilac carpet makes a neat spring edging along lavender beds, blooming weeks before the lavender does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in lean to average, well-drained soil; once established it handles dry spells well. Hardy in zones 4-8. Expect modest growth the first year before it knits into a groundcover, and trim lightly after bloom to keep the mat dense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phlox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lavender with a lighter halo and dark purple star eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded, spreading groundcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–8 in tall × 32–38 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
