Fort Hill Phlox
Phlox subulata 'Fort Hill'
Common Names: Creeping Phlox; Moss Phlox; Flowering Moss
A sun-loving, spring-blooming herbaceous perennial that has a dense, spreading, mat-like forming habit, growing up to only 6 inches tall but spreads 18-24 inches wide. The needle-like, awl-shaped foliage remain bright green after blooming and retain some green in winter. Flowers bloom April-May.
Regarded as one of the most colorful ground covers, Creeping Phlox is also vigorous, hardy, trouble-free and deer and rabbit resistant. Tolerates drought, erosion, and air pollution while suppressing weeds. Requires minimal maintenance and makes an excellent choice for slopes and hillsides.
Uses include rock gardens, borders and edges, slopes and banks, wildlife gardens, foundation plantings, naturalized areas, and carpet bedding. It may also be used to drape slightly over a low rock wall or in containers.
Best flowering is in full sun, but plants generally appreciate some dappled sun in areas with hot, humid summers. Pet and pollinator friendly.
Hardiness zone: 3-9

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
