Phlox subulata 'Emerald Blue'
Choose Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox for sunny border edges, rock gardens, and slope fronts where you want a tight spring flower carpet; the tradeoff is that it will not give height, privacy, or much summer bloom.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong spring color when planted in groups, but the show is short. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It spreads quickly for a perennial groundcover once established. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It is easy to manage if the soil drains well and weeds are controlled while it fills in. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its low, spreading habit works well along edges without blocking nearby plants. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a groundcover and should not be chosen for privacy or visual blocking. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend planting several together rather than using one by itself, especially along walls, walks, and bed fronts where a continuous mat looks cleaner.
| Mature Height | 0.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 1.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 2a-9b |
| Spacing | 1.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Dry to average |
| Growth Habit | Low, spreading, mat-forming groundcover |
The foliage is evergreen to semi-evergreen, though winter weather can rough it up.
No, it spreads as a mat but is not a lawn-running aggressive groundcover.
A light trim after bloom can tidy the patch and encourage denser growth.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
