Creeping Phlox makes a wonderful ground cover for a partial to full shade area with medium to moist soil. It spreads above the ground by sending out runners that root themselves, making another plant. It can form a beautiful mat of pink flowers that aid in controlling soil erosion.
As this ground cover spreads to control erosion, it creates a beautiful mat that complements taller upright perennials like the Blue Wild Indigo Plant in partially shaded borders.
