Carefree Creeping Phlox Collection
Brighten your early spring landscape with the Carefree Creeping Phlox Collection. This collection features four distinct varieties, creating a vibrant, quilt-like groundcover.

What customers say
Customers highly value this Phlox collection for its low maintenance and vibrant spring color, noting its excellent performance as ground cover and for erosion control. Reviewers consistently praise the high quality of the plants upon arrival, citing careful packaging that ensures healthy, moist plugs. Once established, the Phlox lives up to its carefree name, requiring minimal attention.
