Phlox Candy Stripe

The easy going Phlox Candy Stripe (Phlox subulata 'Candy Stripe') is an ideal ground cover with blanketing masses of tiny, white flowers with a pink mid-stripe, and a thick mat of semi-evergreen foliage.

Initially blooming from April to May, this phlox variety has a plant height of 6" and a spread of 12-18" once mature. It is a magnificent addition to any perennial garden.

The 'Candy Stripe' Phlox can handle a variety of climate extremes and works in even the coldest climates, up to growing zone 2. It does best when planted in a full sun area, in well-drained soil, but can also handle poor soil and is drought tolerant once established.

The plant is deer resistant, but will attract pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators. You won't be the only one to completely fall in love with this beauty. 

The phlox clumps may be divided every 2 to 3 years in early spring, to promote healthy growth. It's recommended to prune in the summer, right after spring flowering is finished, to get a lovely second rebloom in the fall.

You can use Phlox Candy Stripe in rock gardens, as a ground covering spread over curbs and short retaining walls, or in difficult edges of dry streambeds or ravines. Try some in containers on your sunny patio.

The lovely Candy Stripe is so easy to grow and can be used in so many applications! Order your very own Phlox Candy Stripe today before it's too late!
