CREEPING PHLOX – Phlox subulata
Creeping Phlox Culture: Creeping phlox are native creepers that form solid sheets of pink, magenta, purple, blue, white or striped bloom, some with contrasting eyes, typically in mid-April. They grow in sun or tolerate light shade but most importantly they need excellent drainage. Water well until established. The roots are very fine and burn easily so fertilize half strength, if at all. All are in 4.5” pots and are $4.29 each. A full flat of 10 of the same variety qualifies for a 10% discount.
WOODLAND PHLOX a.k.a. WILD SWEET WILLIAM – Phlox divaricata and Stolonifera
Woodland Phlox Culture: A semi-evergreen shade loving native with spreading, stem-rooting habit. Shoots up showy, nicely fragrant blue, pink or white flowers in April and May. Generally low maintenance, it does appreciate moisture and prefers woodsy, well-drained soil. The plants are sold in shade perennials, $5.99 each

Phlox
Tall Garden Phlox Culture: Phlox prefer rich, deeply worked moist but well-drained soil for best performance, as they are
heavy feeders. Cutting back early bloom heads as they fade will promote re-bloom. Problems to watch for are mildew and
red spider mite. If you spray roses, the same material will usually do for phlox. All the modern varieties we currently carry
have shown to have above average mildew tolerance and probably will not need sprayed under good culture. These newer
varieties are more heat tolerant as well enabling them to bloom all summer if not too dry. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to
maintain vigor and flower power. Tall phlox are Indiana natives that used to occupy sunny moist areas usually aside creeks
and streams.
