Creeping phlox spring bloomers

grows well in shade or sun

OK, before I go on I have to tell you in the photo the flowers have not bloomed yet. So the photo is how the ground cover looks without flowers. 

Creeping phlox makes a good ground cover. It's low growing (about 4-6 inches tall) and spreads out.  In the spring little, tiny flowers cover the spread. I get so many wonderful comments when the flowers bloom. It's just spectacular.

They are low maintenance.Except, when they get to the length you want, they will need to be trimmed.  I recommend them to cover  areas that you don't want to mow or along rock walls and ledges where they can trail over.  I have had ground cover as ivy, pachasandra and these creeping phlox and I prefer these since they have the flowers.

The flowers come in periwinkle, pink and a deep rosy, pink.

Deer will eat anything but if there is already plenty for them to eat they will tend to skip these in favor of more tasty items
