Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Who could resist the super-saturated light purple hue of Chicagoland Grows® Violet Pinwheels Phlox (Phlox 'Violet Pinwheels')? This outstanding Moss Phlox, also known as Creeping Phlox, wakes up very early in spring...well before other cultivars.

The electric, candy-colored flowers feature notched, upturned petals that open a rich, radiant purple and then age to luminous lavender. These wonders are a sure-fire way to chase away those winter doldrums! Add a touch of perfume, and these are ideal spring blooms!

This semi-to-fully evergreen creeping Phlox shines for many weeks in early spring...lavishly covered with petite purple star-shaped flowers that are adored by all. Violet Pinwheels Phlox is space-saving and stays snug to the ground, nestling softly into its planting place! Growing just 4-6 inches tall, and spreading 2-3 feet wide, everyone will love this dizzying layer of color in your landscape!

Planting and Application:

These low-growing lovelies are perfect for garden and pathway edging! Use as facer plants to hide the bare, leggier stems of larger trees and shrubs! The brilliant skirting of fine-textured flowers and foliage adds a finishing touch to your garden design!

Underplant your purple Rose bushes for a full season of blooms. Their charming, dark green needle-like foliage will provide a beautiful contrast for your Roses. Couple with other evergreen groundcover shrubs for a wildly easy-care planting you'll adore for decades. Jazz up your foundation plantings with an incredibly vibrant "carpet of color".

These spreading Phlox are perfect as en masse blankets that cover the ground like living mulch, or on hillsides for covering hard-to-mow slopes and erosion control. Remove sod and space them two feet apart on center; measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

Add a collection of rugged boulders and gravel for a compelling Rock Garden. Plant Violet Pinwheels Creeping Phlox near the base of your boulders on the side that stays sunny. If needed, add extra soil to create a planting pocket for these small, spreading plants to flourish in.

Specialty gardens like Alpine, Zen, or Butterfly can make tremendous use of these pretty, petite plants. Beneficial pollinators will be very grateful for their early blooms...use Violet Pinwheels Phlox in Victory Gardens to lure them to your fruit and veggie plants, too! Even container gardeners adore Creeping Phlox as spillers and fillers in patio and porch mixed planters!

Phlox Frequently Asked Questions

Does Creeping Phlox spread?

Most Garden Phlox do spread some but politely so - not getting into trouble and not jumping their borders. Should the clumps become too large you can easily divide them.

Should your deadhead Creeping Phlox?

Deadheading Carpet Phlox helps prevent some varieties from self-seeding and encourages a rebloom. Shear or prune immediately after flowering for a rebloom later on.

Where is the best place to plant Phlox?

Phlox needs full sun, and well-drained enriched soil with good air circulation for best results. Mulch their beds and fertilize them each spring.

What happens to Phlox in the winter?

Phlox are herbaceous perennials that will lose their leaves and stems after frost and die back to the ground. In spring, they regrow from their root systems anew! However, Creeping Phlox can remain semi to fully evergreen in mild winters and warm growing zones.
