Phlox subulata ‘Snowflake’
Choose Snowflake Creeping Phlox for a sunny slope, wall edge, or front border where you want a tight white spring carpet. Main tradeoff: it is a groundcover, not a season-long flower show or weed barrier by itself.
Buy This If
You want white spring bloom.
You need a low groundcover.
You are planting along stone.
Skip This If
The bed is mostly shaded.
The area stays soggy.
You want constant flowers.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
Spring bloom gives a clean white edge or carpet, but the show is brief.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills gaps faster than many perennials once rooted, though new plantings still need patience.
Maintenance
B+
Routine care is light, but trimming after bloom and weeding during establishment keep it tidy.
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, steps, and wall tops.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Snowflake where the goal is a clean, low edge that can knit between stones or spill over a wall. Plant multiples and keep weeds out early; single plants look sparse until they settle in.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay green in winter?
It keeps a low green mat, though New England weather can roughen the foliage.
How long does it bloom?
Spring is the main show; after that it reads mostly as green groundcover.
Should I cut it back?
A light trim after flowering helps keep the mat dense and neat.
Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
Return Year After Year: Perennials come back each season, reducing replanting costs while increasing garden maturity
Extended Seasonal Interest: With proper selection, you can enjoy continuous blooms from spring through fall.
Low Long-Term Maintenance: Once established, many perennials require minimal upkeep and become more resilient over time.
The Pro Growers of New England Advantage — Perennials
Perennials bring dependable color, texture, and seasonal interest to your landscape year after year. At Pro Growers of New England, our perennials are grown locally and selected for reliable performance in New England’s soil, temperature swings, and growing conditions.
We welcome customers to visit the nursery, explore our selection in person, and choose healthy, well-developed plants with confidence. When you purchase perennials from PGNE, you’re investing in locally grown varieties chosen for longevity, repeat bloom performance, and long-term garden success.
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.
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!

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!
