Fort Hill, also known as Creeping Phlox, Phlox Subulata, and Moss Phlox, is a perennial flowering plant native to North America. This variety offers a creeping, spreading habit of 4-6" tall and 12-24" wide, with star-shaped, rose pink flowers in spring. Creeping Phlox attracts butterflies, resists deer and rabbits, and flourishes as a groundcover or in containers, landscape borders, and rock gardens with little more than a sunny location and regular water. Fort Hill is more drought tolerant than other varieties. Perennial and evergreen in zone 3-9, Fort Hill is an obvious low-maintenance addition to the landscape for any homeowner. For an upright variety, try Phlox Sweet Summer Compact Rose.
Sell Fort Hill to customers looking for a low-maintenance perennial for groundcover, landscape borders, rock gardens, or containers. This plant offers many benefits, including deer and rabbit resistance and prolific blooms that attract bees and butterflies in spring. Creeping Phlox is cold-hardy to zone 3 and flourishes in full sun with nothing more than regular water. Create a stunning landscape by growing this plant with Iberis, Dianthus, Iris, Penstemon, and Hosta or alongside tulips and daffodils for a show of spring color.

1. Space plants 12-24" apart in well-drained soil in a location that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight.
2. Water once a week or less often in rainy weather and more often in drought.
For best results with Fort Hill, plant one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5, EC of 1.5-2.1 mS/cm (SME), and light feed (150 ppm N). This plant is day neutral and benefits from 6-15 weeks of vernalization at 35-41 degrees. After vernalizing, use average daily temperatures of 59-76 and light at 4,000-8,000 fc. Pinch once, and don't use PGRs. You may see mites, whiteflies, and aphids. Botrytis, root rot, and powdery mildew can develop, especially in overly wet conditions.

Powdery mildew is the primary disease issue with Phlox. Root rot and Botrytis can also develop in overlly wet conditions. Take the following precautions for prevention. Water plants at the base in the morning so they can dry out before nightfall. Space plants to allow for sufficient airflow; horizontal airflow fans are also effective at preventing outbreaks. Use a spray of Strike, Systhane (Eagle), Pipron, Terraguard, or Heritage to prevent powdery mildew.
