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.

- You like soft blue-lavender spring flowers.
- You have a dry-to-average spot.
Skip This If
- You need screening or height.

PGNE Report Card
| 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. |
Our Experience
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.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay green?
The foliage is evergreen to semi-evergreen, though winter weather can rough it up.
Will it take over the lawn?
No, it spreads as a mat but is not a lawn-running aggressive groundcover.
Should I cut it back?
A light trim after bloom can tidy the patch and encourage denser growth.
