Cushion Blue Creeping Phlox is a robust cultivar featuring a striking profusion of deep lavender-blue blooms. It creates a dense, low-growing mound of dark green, needle-like foliage, completely covered by small flowers in mid to late spring. This variety shows strong resistance to diseases and thrives in sunny rock gardens, as edging, or in mixed containers. It prefers well-drained soil and becomes drought tolerant after establishment.
