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 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. |
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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
