A vibrant ground-hugging standout for Wyoming landscapes, this phlox erupts each spring in a dazzling carpet of brilliant pink flowers that glow against the rugged backdrop of the West. Its soft, needle-like evergreen foliage forms a dense, year-round mat that weaves effortlessly among rocks and pathways. Tough and sun-loving, it thrives in Wyoming’s bright skies, lean soils, and drying winds, showing impressive drought tolerance once established. Perfect for rock gardens, slopes, borders, and container plantings, where its vivid blooms can spill, cascade, and shine at the very start of the growing season.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
