Description

Quite possibly one of the most colourful of the creeping phloxes, this dainty, evergreen perennial is a versatile solution for a colourful spring garden, perfect for planting in drifts for a carpet of colour through April and into May, or dotted around to fill gaps and keep weeds at bay.

With an abundance of 5-petalled star-like flowers along with distinctive needle-like leaves, each plant will spread to 60cm (2ft) across and is the perfect choice for rock gardens and for edging paths and borders. Also known as creeping moss phlox, you can grow it in mixed borders in full sun as well as in all manner of containers - it really is a plant for every occasion!

As well as making an invaluable groundcover plant and weed suppressant, hardy carpet phlox is a low or no maintenace hardy plant needing very little in the way of aftercare, making it the perfect plant for those new to gardening or with no time for faddy garden divas.

A great way to attract wildlife into your garden, you will get 2 plants each of the best 3 varieties, growing to 15cm (6in) x 60cm (2ft):

Candy stripe - pink with white stripes
Emerald Blue - pale lavender blue
McDaniels Cushion - bright pink

Top Tips
Clip plants lightly immediately after blooming to encourage dense growth.
Care Information
  • Requires good drainage. Drought tolerant once established
  • Feed and water regularly, particularly during dry periods, until the young phlox plants are fully established.
  • For plants supplied in autumn, they are best potted up and allowed to grow on before planting out in spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
