Emerald Blue Moss Phlox 1 Live Plant – Phlox subulata ‘Emerald Blue’ – Quart Pot

Emerald Blue Moss Phlox (Phlox subulata ‘Emerald Blue’) is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial groundcover known for its abundant lavender-blue flowers and fine, needle-like green foliage. During spring, clusters of small, five-petaled blossoms create a colorful carpet over the foliage, adding seasonal interest to garden borders, rock gardens, and sloped landscapes.

This creeping phlox develops a dense, spreading, cushion-like growth habit that makes it useful for edging pathways, softening stone walls, filling spaces between rocks, and covering well-drained garden areas. Its evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage provides texture beyond the flowering season, although winter appearance may vary with climate. Spring flowers may also attract bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators.

This listing includes one live Emerald Blue Moss Phlox in a quart-size nursery pot (QT). The plant performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it has relatively low water requirements and can tolerate occasional dry conditions. Plants may arrive with fewer flowers, trimmed foliage, or seasonal browning depending on the time of year.
