{"product_id":"rose-sprite-creeping-phlox-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Rose Sprite Creeping Phlox - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eRose Sprite is a hybrid spring phlox with rose-pink star-shaped flowers, each with a tiny white halo. It forms a low, well-behaved mound instead of spreading aggressively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt flowers about a week later than creeping phlox, carrying spring color into late spring. At 6 to 8 inches tall, it suits edging, rock gardens and small beds, and it tolerates very light shade. Butterflies and bees visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStar-shaped flowers about 3\/4 inch across have five notched petals in rose pink, each with a tiny white halo at the center, crowded over the top of the plant. Leaves are small, narrow and green. The plant forms a low, compact mound about 6 to 8 inches tall and 18 to 22 inches wide. At peak bloom the mound is covered in rose-pink stars.\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 rose-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, or very light shade, in lean to average, well-drained soil; it handles dry spells once established. Hardy in zones 3-8. It stays in a neat mound rather than running, and a light trim after bloom keeps it compact.\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 Rose pink with a tiny white halo\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 Low, compact mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–8 in tall × 18–22 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\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 Early-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-May\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.
