Maintenance Guide for Phlox subulata ‘Fabulous White’

Phlox subulata ‘Fabulous White’ is a low-maintenance perennial, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. With minimal care, this plant can thrive and produce a spectacular display of flowers each spring. Here are some essential care tips to keep your Creeping Phlox looking its best:

• Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, Phlox subulata is quite drought-tolerant and only requires occasional watering, particularly during prolonged dry spells. Ensure that the soil remains well-drained to prevent root rot.
• Pruning: After the blooming season, lightly prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth. This will help keep the foliage dense and promote a healthier appearance. Deadheading faded flowers can also encourage a longer blooming period.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Avoid excessive fertilization, as too much nitrogen can lead to lush foliage at the expense of blooms.
• Mulching: Apply a thin layer of organic mulch around the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. Keep mulch away from the plant's crown to prevent fungal issues.
• Pest and Disease Control: Phlox subulata is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it may occasionally face challenges such as powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions. Ensure adequate air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent this issue. If needed, organic fungicides can help manage any disease problems.
