$8.99
Less and slowly spreading spring phlox, with vivid deep violet flowers (notched and upturned petals).
In cooler zones blooms close to 5 weeks and does rebloom a bit in the late summer-early fall.
In comparison to 'Purple Beauty' creeping phlox, the flowers are smaller, 3/4", with more vivid colors and more cup-shaped flowers.
Blooming time : early to mid/late spring (in zone 5 of Northern Illinois blooms for 5 weeks from late March to mid-May)
Size : 4-5” tall x 24-36" wide (18" wide after 3 years)
USDA zones : 4 to 8
Culture : full sun, half shade, dappled sun. Adaptable plant, but some drainage is preferred - average, heavier, organic, gravelly, rocky, sandy soils, poor and shallow soils, xeriscape.
Moisture Needs : medium-dry, drier. It may appreciate some watering during longer droughts
Origin : Introduced by Dr. Jim Ault from Chicagoland Grows in 2008, as a cross between western and eastern creeping phlox species
Deer/rabbit resistant : mostly yes, unless there's nothing else to browse / no (depends on the rabbit pressure)
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators : butterfly and bee friendly, but usually blooms earlier than butterflies can hatch
Attracts Hummingbirds : no
Pot Size : square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot (1.22 pt/580 ml)
Picture copyright : Walters Gardens
Plant combinations : For the edges, along patios and paths, rock gardens, trough gardens, crevice gardens, slopes. Best combined with smaller to medium sized perennial – from native choose shorter Agastache, Anemone patens, Antennaria, Asclepias tuberosa, dwarf Baptisia, Campanula rotundifolia, Coreopsis, Cunila origanoides, Dalea, shorter Echinacea, Gaillardia, Gaura (shorter cultivars), smaller cultivars of Heuchera (in cooler regions), Penstemons, Ruellia humilis, shorter cultivars of Stokesia, Verbena canadensis, native grasses like Boutelloa gracilis, Koeleria cristata, Sporobolus heterolepis 'Tara' (or non-native Sesleria).
