Emerald Pink Creeping Phlox is a low-growing native evergreen perennial with a long bloom season and dark green awl-shaped foliage. The dense carpet of bright pink flowers coat the foliage in spring, attracting butterflies. Best flowering in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils. Emerald Pink is drought tolerant and makes an excellent bank cover.
