Creeping Phlox - Phlox stolonifera

Phonetic: FLOCKS sto-lon-IH-fer-ah

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.
