It is also the earliest of its group to flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant forms a neat mound for its first couple of years, looks tidy later into spring than older types and spreads wider as it matures. Use it along walks, in rock gardens and on slopes. Butterflies and bees visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat, five-petaled flowers about 1.5 inches across, large for a creeping phlox, in soft baby pink with a lighter halo at the center, cover the plant densely. The leaves are small, narrow, needle-like and green. The plant forms a mounding groundcover about 4 to 8 inches tall and 24 to 28 inches wide. At peak bloom it is a soft pink cushion of large, open flowers.\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 soft 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\u003ePlant in full sun in average, well-drained soil and water during long dry spells.
