Phlox - Creeping Blue
The Phlox 'Creeping Blue', Phlox subulata 'Blue', makes a carpet of color and evergreen foliage and provides year round beauty and cover. 'Creeping Blue' plants are covered with a mass of blue flowers during April and May. This carefree wonder quickly blankets even tough problem areas with dense green foliage and thousands of colorful blooms. Plant 8-12 apart in any moist soil and in full sun to partial shade. A feeding of compost in the spring is all this plant requires in the way of food. Prune after flowering or late summer to create a healthier plant and to promote denser growth. 'Creeping Blue' is a good plant to use with your spring flowering bulbs such as Tulips and Daffodils. It is often used as a ground cover, an edging plant or for planting in cracks and walls. It is also good for naturalizing an area. It does prefer a well-drained soil, and clay water logged soils will lead to winter rotting. * Excellent rock garden plant * Use in pots and containers for spilling effect

The flowers appear in late spring to early summer and continue until frost.  ‘Ruby Stella’ is in its full glory by July!

Even though drought tolerant, ‘Ruby Stella’ blooms much better with regular watering.  Plant in drifts for maximum effect!

Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month.  Use this daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds; attracts butterflies. Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion.  Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline.  This ravishing beauty is a proven top perennial performer! * Compact habit * Ever blooming * Durable
