It blooms a few days to a week earlier than standard creeping phlox, depending on the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is moderate the first year, then it knits into a groundcover about 6 to 8 inches tall and nearly 3 feet wide. It is easy to grow, handles lean soil and is well suited to edging, slopes and rock gardens. 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 bright medium pink, with a small deep purple starburst at the center. The blooms cover the plant so densely that the foliage is mostly hidden. 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, solid cushion of pink.\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 bright pink 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 Medium pink with a 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.
