Sherwood Purple Creeping Phlox

3-6″ x 6-12″ – it spreads! A woodland favorite, originally found along the streams and wooded areas of Appalachia, Creeping Phlox Sherwood Purple lights up the May garden with a burst of fragrant, violet-purple flowers held high on 8-inch stems. An evergreen groundcover, it will spread where its happy. Plant in shade to part-shade locations in an area where it can spread, and water moderately. Once its established it is quite drought tolerant. Plant Sherwood Purple with other spring blooming woodland bulbs for a cascade of color. Beautiful with ferns, Hellebore, Columbine, and Bleeding Heart. It is also an important source of spring nectar for our pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds
