Perfectly named, five fluttering, heart-shaped petals painted in white and pink stripes make up each delicate flower on Candy Stripe. Resembling thousands of peppermint patties planted prettily in your garden, Candy Stripe makes people feel happy with her cheerful colors. She blooms for around a month, but when she's done, her mossy foliage stands on its own as a low-lying textural element in your garden. With her moderate growth rate, you'll have a gorgeous, colorful carpet in no time.
General information about Phlox:
Any gardener who has used Creeping Phlox once will insist on planting again and again.
The blanket of delicate, colorful flowers that greet you every spring can only be described as perfectly pretty year after year.
A versatile, easy-to-grow groundcover that forms a dense carpet-like mat
no taller than six inches,
Phlox proves excellent for
erosion control
on
slopes
and in plantings of any size.
She
cascades
like billows of cloth over curbs, drapes down walls, and huddles over hanging baskets.
Her flowers blanket slopes all across the south in spring, but her wispy sage
evergreen
foliage is also an undeniable feature with their tell-tale linear growth.
Though she does prefer
full sun
for best
blooms,
she will also do well in
partial sun.
While she puts up with a
variety of soil conditions,
ideally she wants well-drained soil and
tolerates drought
(does not tolerate too much moisture).
Phlox makes a good
edging
plant for difficult locations including rock gardens.
She comes in a variety of colors, so you’re sure to find the perfect shade for your garden.
Gardener Tips
Consider placing multiple plants in one area for quick filling, then in 2-3 growing seasons, you can easily divide this plant in early spring and use her in other areas.
Try planting Phlox with bulbs such as tulips and daffodils for a gorgeous spring display.
Try planting Phlox as a
border
for herb gardens where she will blanket the earth beneath taller growers such as basil, chives and lavender while not disturbing their productivity.

I received the 24 plants in excellent condition. They were packaged with great care and arrived well hydrated. They were smaller than I anticipated but also made for easy planting. I will be doing business with Classy Groundcovers again and recommend them to anyone.

My plants arrived invery bad shape despite a timely shipment. I strongly suspect they were that way when boxed. I am working to help them recover but it is not looking good. I do not believe these plants should have been offered for mail delivery.
