Moss phlox is a hardy and reliable perennial used mostly in rockeries and low walls, where it makes a fantastic cover of white, pink, red, purple, mauve or blue flowers in mid spring. Many varieties are evergreen.
Emerald Cushion Blue is a compact moss phlox with lavender violet, small flowers which open on large, emerald green cushions of evergreen leaves from late April. This phlox makes a good groundcover in almost no time, however, for good habit, dense growth and to eliminate bare, woody stems we recommend trimming it in early summer.
Grow moss phlox in full sun and free-draining soil of any pH. Once established they take long periods of droughts. Mulching is not necessary but covering the soil around the main clump with weed control fabric is advisable to keep the area around the plant weed-free. It is very hardy to about -45°C (USDA zone 2).
