They are perfect for a rocky slope where nothing else will grow. They fill in nicely during the summer and fall, but when spring comes, they pop out to turn a normally mundane space into a showplace.

I love phlox. Every spring I get people stopping by to ask what they are. I really enjoy the early blooms.

Thanks for this info! I am planning to plant some of the purple in my front garden (I’m turning our front yard into a garden instead of a lawn) and I’m happy to hear your recommendation!

I’ve been thinking of planting creeping phlox. Is this different than carpet phlox? I am trying to find a perennial that will grow well in fairly dry soil. I found your blog very informative, and will post link from my blog.

The phlox flowers look good, and they are fragrant flowers too – I think I should plant these. Do you know the latin name of the scented flower? We have several varieties here in Japan – somebody here has put up some nice photos with the names in English too: http://yonemura.co.jp/zukan/zukan-f/zoku/phlox2.htm. You should be able to see the photos and the English names; the rest might appear garbled.
Nice blog; I have added it to my blogroll.

Phlox sublata and Phlox stolonifera look very much alike but differ significantly in their drought tolerance. Which of the two do you have?
