Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 7:09 am, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Thanks, Kevin. Phlox is beautiful. It spreads fast and there’s no pest that It’s a great ground cover. It propagates easily just cut it off stick it down the dirt and water.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC. on March 18, 2025, 7:12 am, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Thanks, Keith. It sure is easy to grow, propagates easilyeasily from cutting. It’s a beautiful great ground cover. Nothing bad to say about this plant. Also, it blooms intermittently all winter which is not the usual for most plants.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Kevin seTN on March 18, 2025, 8:37 am, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" So you can cut a piece of the green stem, even if it don't have any roots? Cool, good to know. Kevin seTN

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 8:57 am, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Yes, Kevin, you can just stick a clump of stems in ground and keep moist. I am gonna cut some at my mailbox that is growing over street. I will pot up for my barber, lol.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Jake- Morristown,TN on March 18, 2025, 10:56 am, in reply to "Creeping phlox going great guns" That looks awesome! Creeping phlox always looks great when you have a lot along a border like you do. Wish they bloomed longer. Jake

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC on March 18, 2025, 12:10 pm, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Jake, it would be nice for longer bloom. Here it blooms for over a month. It also blooms sporadically all winter here.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Jake- Morristown,TN on March 18, 2025, 4:58 pm, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Oh, wow! Last year we had upper 70s and low 80s into early November and I saw creeping phlox blooming again in spots. I also saw a lot of people's Iris' giving a beautiful second show. I guess like us, they thought it wasn't going to get cold, and the conditions were right to bloom. The Iris actually looked better than when they bloom in spring. The blooms seemed to have stayed fresher longer and there seemed to be more blooms.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Jason Western PA on March 18, 2025, 8:48 pm, in reply to "Creeping phlox going great guns" I wish phlox lasted longer. They make a great carpet.

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC on March 19, 2025, 2:06 pm, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Jason, It last a good month here, and blooms sporadically all winter long. I do love it . The only comparison is the banks of ice plants s as long the motorways in Southern California along the Pacific Coast Highway

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by jimHardy on March 20, 2025, 7:50 am, in reply to "Creeping phlox going great guns" Looks nice with that Agave in the picture too

Re: Creeping phlox going great guns Posted by Fred SC on March 20, 2025, 8:38 am, in reply to "Re: Creeping phlox going great guns" Thank you, Jim. I am sitting in truck waiting to go into Dr for labs, and I notice wisteria blooming all over the back trees. I like wisteria but it is too invasive.
