Care & Maintenance
USDA Growing Zones: 4 - 8. Bedazzled Lavender Creeping Phlox is a hardy, herbaceous perennial groundcover that is both tough and charming. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance.
- Planting Time: Best planted in spring or early fall.
- Sun Requirements: Full sun for maximum bloom coverage.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil - thrives in sandy, rocky, or average soils. Avoid soggy clay or poor drainage.
- Moisture Needs: Use the Finger Test. New plants need consistent watering their first year, but once established, it is drought-tolerant.
- Mulch: Apply a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around, but not on top of, the crown.
- Fertilization Needs: Light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring encourages better blooming. Compost is also beneficial.
- Pruning Info: Lightly shear back after flowering to keep mounds tidy and encourage dense growth. No need for deadheading since spent flowers naturally drop away.
- Division Info: Can be divided every 3-4 years to rejuvenate growth and spread plants to new areas.
- Special Perks: Deer and rabbit-resistant, erosion control, and evergreen foliage provides year-round interest.
