    Plant Care Tips

    💙 Phlox subulata 'Emerald Blue' Planting & Care Guide

    🌱 How to Plant an Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox?

    Select a spot with well-drained soil and plenty of sun. Since Phlox subulata is a shallow-rooted groundcover, dig a shallow trench to accommodate its roots. Place the plant at ground level, backfill gently with loose soil, and water thoroughly to help it settle in. For best results, space each plant about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow spreading. 🌞🪴🌿

    💧 Watering Needs

    Keep the soil lightly moist for the first few weeks after planting. Once established, Emerald Blue Creeping Phlox is drought-tolerant and requires little water. Be careful not to overwater — this plant prefers dry to medium soil and can struggle in soggy conditions. 🚿💧🌾

    ☀️ Sunlight Requirements

    This low-growing perennial thrives in full sun. For best performance, ensure it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. While it tolerates partial shade, too much shade can reduce flowering and cause thinning growth. 🌞🌸🪻

    🌿 Fertilizing Tips

    Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can result in excessive foliage and fewer blooms. A light feeding after flowering can promote continued growth through summer. Compost or organic mulch also helps enrich the soil and retain moisture. ✨🌱🌼
