Phlox-subulata
Phlox subulata
Moss or Mountain Pink
Planting:
Set out plants 6 to 8 inches apart in full sun, preferably in a rather dry, well-drained soil of low fertility. While tolerant of a wide pH range, P. subulata prefers a neutral or slightly alkaline soil.
Maintenance:
Shear back after flowering – this is essential to prevent the central portion of the clump dying out in a few years and presenting a rather shabby appearance.
Zones:
Zones 3-9
