'DRUMMOND'S PINK' Creeping Ground Phlox (Phlox x subulata 'drummond's pink')

'Drummond's Pink' has larger flowers than other creeping Phlox and they engulf the dark-green, needle-like foliage. Fragrant deep-pink flowers sparkle with deeper-pink eyes. This charmer will cascade over a low stone wall or blanket a rock garden for reliable spring color while you anxiously await summer blooms to be in full swing.

Attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, but deer tend to leave it alone. Phlox subulata spreads rapidly to cover any open sunny spot in mid-spring. Prefers sandy soil. Height 3" to 6".
