This low-growing perennial, botanically known as Phlox subulata, forms dense mats of narrow evergreen foliage that burst into bloom in spring, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, border edges, slopes, and pathway plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreeping phlox is a favorite for its ability to cascade over walls and stones, providing early-season color when many other plants are still waking up. The vibrant pink and white blooms attract pollinators and offer a lovely contrast against the needle-like green leaves. Whether used as a ground cover or a specimen in a sunny spot, Candy Stripe Phlox brings reliable beauty with minimal fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBicolor pink and white flowers with a striped appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-growing, mat-forming habit ideal for ground cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen foliage provides year-round interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly spring bloomer that attracts pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for rock gardens, slopes, and border fronts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phlox subulata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creeping, mat-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Candy Stripe Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface as they need light to germinate; do not cover deeply. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location in full sun with well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, creeping phlox is relatively drought-tolerant. Shear back lightly after blooming to encourage dense growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Candy Stripe Phlox seeds (Phlox subulata).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795520487734,"sku":"FOLIA2-222","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7242657215_d7sb.jpg?v=1792671001","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-candy-stripe-phlox-seeds-creeping-phlox-subulata-pink-white-ground-cover","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
