Phlox Creeping Violet Pinwheels #1

This groundcover phlox behaves like P. subulata, but with far more intense flower color; glowing, violet-purple flowers with notched, upturned petals look like tiny pinwheels; grows low and spreads slowly; great for border fronts or edging. This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;.
