Phlox subulata 'Eye Caramba'

Need a bold shot of color to herald spring's arrival? Look no further! This trailing Phlox has deep purple flowers that appear to be hand stamped with reddish maroon ink. Its needle-like, evergreen foliage forms a dense mat making a lush groundcover perfect for cascading over walls or across slopes. This Phlox is good for any open sunny spot, especially a bank., but is also a great addition to any rock garden, foundation plantings, or as an edger. 

Phlox 'Eye Caramba' blooms arrive mid to late spring. Phlox is a butterfly, bee, and hummingbird magnet! 

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type but has a definite preference for alkaline soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner-city environments. Consider covering it with a thick layer of mulch in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. 

Pairs well with Roses, Grasses, and Astilbe.

TIP: Can be trimmed back after flowering to the low green foliage if lush new growth is needed. No need to prune in the fall, clean up winter damage in spring.
