Phlox 'Eye Shadow' - Creeping Phlox

Creeping phlox is a sure sign that spring is underway. These gorgeous ground covers are often seen flowing over the sides of retaining walls and filling the foreground of garden beds. The electric purple color of 'Eye Shadow' phlox is stunning to behold. Where many creeping phlox carry shades of pink, 'Eye Shadow' possesses strong purple flowers with dark centers. This darker cooler coloration makes 'Eye Shadow' a perfect choice to offset red colored brick, the browns of wood, grays of limestone and the bright greens of spring. With a penchant for rocky alkaline soil, 'Eye Shadow' grows no taller than six inches and maintains a dense spreading habit that makes it an ideal ground cover for the rocky parts of southern Indiana.
