Phlox stolonifera 'Weesie Smith' (Weesie Smith Creeping Phlox)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-8 10" tall Origin: USA

NEW! We've grown quite a few selections of our native Phlox stolonifera, but none can compare with the vigor and foliage density of this selection we named P. 'Weesie Smith'. Our 3-year-old clump has spread to 8', forming a ground-hugging mat of thin, surface-lying stems clothed in small, coke spoon-like leaves. The mats are topped, starting in early April, with 10" spikes of lavender-pink flowers...absolutely superb. The phlox comes from the garden of Alabama's first lady of wildflowers...Weesie Smith, thanks to her friend and wildflower compatriot Jan Midgley. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
