'EMERALD PINK' Creeping Ground Phlox (Phlox x subulata 'emerald pink')

Phlox subulata is a low growing, carpet-like spreader with a mossy appearance.  Evergreen leaves are linear and sharply pointed.  'Emerald Pink' is covered in Spring with pink flowers for 2-4 weeks.  Prune or shear after blooming to keep it low and neat.  Phlox subulata adapts to a wide range of soil conditions but prefers well-drained sandy soils low in nutrients.  Tolerates drought once established.  Recommended in small and large plantings as a ground cover, for erosion control, slopes, mass planting, and borders.  Works well in rock gardens and creeping over retaining walls.  Mature Height 4"-6"
