Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' is a delightful cultivar of Phlox subulata, commonly known as creeping phlox or moss phlox. Here's some information about this particular variety:

  1. Description: Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' is characterized by its low-growing, spreading habit and masses of small, star-shaped flowers that bloom profusely in spring. The flowers feature a unique candy stripe pattern, with white petals streaked or edged in shades of pink or lavender. This creates a charming and eye-catching display when the plant is in bloom.

  2. Growing Conditions: Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires little maintenance. This plant is ideal for rock gardens, borders, slopes, and other areas where a low-maintenance ground cover is desired.

  3. Blooming Season: The flowers of Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' typically bloom in early to mid-spring, depending on the climate. The flowering period lasts several weeks, during which the plant puts on a stunning display of color. Deadheading spent flowers can help prolong the blooming season and encourage additional flowering.

  4. Propagation: Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. Division is typically done in early spring or late summer, while stem cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer. Both methods are relatively easy and can be used to create new plants or expand existing plantings.

  5. Maintenance: Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' is generally low-maintenance but may benefit from occasional pruning to remove dead or leggy growth and encourage bushier growth. In late winter or early spring, you can also lightly fertilize the plants with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Overall, Creeping Phlox 'Candy Stripe' is a charming and colorful ground cover plant that adds a whimsical touch to the landscape with its candy-striped flowers. With its easy care requirements and stunning appearance, it's a popular choice for gardeners looking to enhance their gardens with a splash of color and texture.
