Creeping Phlox
Phlox come in different forms. One is the low growing groundcover variety that is covered with small flowers in shades of pink, white, or purple in early spring.
We have started carrying a few different varieties of creeping phlox. They are in limited numbers since they are new on the propagation schedule. I do plan on adding more as they become available.
Tall Garden Phlox
Another form is the tall garden variety. The stalks have long narrow leaves along the full length. The best and most prominent feature though is the large clusters of small flowers that form at the top and on side shoots.
They also come in shades of pink, white and purple. They are very fragrant and can be smelled for quite a distance downwind. These bloom in late summer.
Each year the plant sends up more stalks of flowers. Before long you will have a good-sized area of these very fragrant flowers. Ah, the joy of perennial flowers!
Woodland Phlox
Yet another form of phlox we carry is the woodland phlox. As the name suggests, they do well in semi-shaded areas like the edge of the woods. These aren’t fragrant like their taller cousins.
The primary color for these is purple. They grow in a bushy shape with their flowers held up above. They make a colorful addition to an area that is hard to have color. These are also spring bloomers.
