Creeping phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover for full sun. Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are preferred and good drainage is essential. It's a good idea to shear this plant back and clean up any dead foliage in early summer, just after it's finished blooming. This will produce denser foliage and will encourage it to rebloom. Divisions can be made every few years in summer.

Plant in a sunny spot with well drained soil. Prune after flowering for a healthier plant. Often used as a ground cover, an edging plant, or for planting in cracks in walls. Good plant to use with your spring blooming bulbs.
