These delicate blooms emerge in early spring, creating a vibrant and lively carpet of color.

Standing at a height of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) with a spread of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm), the Drummond's Pink Creeping Phlox has a low-growing and trailing form. This makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, slopes, borders, or as a groundcover. Its spreading nature allows it to fill in gaps and cascade over edges, creating a soft and seamless transition in your landscape.
Caring for the Drummond's Pink Creeping Phlox is relatively easy, as it is a hardy and low-maintenance perennial. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of various soil conditions, including poor and rocky soils. This Creeping Phlox variety is also highly drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for water-wise landscapes or regions with dry summers.
