100 Snowflake Creeping Phlox Seeds - White Ground Cover Flowers, Phlox subulata

Snowflake Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata) is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial prized for its early spring display of star-shaped white flowers. This variety creates a dense carpet of evergreen foliage that bursts into bloom, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, slopes, and as a ground cover. Its creeping habit and bright white flowers add a fresh, clean look to any landscape.

Snowflake Creeping Phlox is easy to grow and attracts pollinators, while its drought tolerance and deer resistance make it a low-maintenance option for many gardens. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, where it can spread to form a beautiful, weed-suppressing mat.

Planting & Care

Sow Snowflake Creeping Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Snowflake Creeping Phlox is relatively drought tolerant. Shear back after blooming to maintain a tidy habit and encourage new growth. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.
