Product information

‘Candy Stripe’ is one of the most recognisable creeping phlox, with small five-petalled flowers striped pink and white. Masses of blooms cover the needle-fine evergreen cushion from April into early summer, giving a proper show.

Stays low at around 10 to 15cm tall, spreading steadily to form a dense mat.

Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun. Trim back after the main flush to keep the mat tight. Tough and drought-tolerant once established.

A firm favourite for sunny rockeries, gravel gardens, wall tops, and front-of-border positions.
