Creeping Phlox

Makes a nice evergreen ground cover and does this every spring. Ideal for slopes.

Nice one! One for my sloped rockery..when the garden centres open, eventually..:-(

Should do well in your rockery - they come in various colors. I love how it spreads along the ground choking out weeds. It has a very long bloom period - over a month. Keeping the soil moist would extend the bloom period yet further. I'm looking for a blue one to put beside it.

Thanks Paul, good information. I just wish the garden centres would open soon...I’d order online, but with work you’re never sure if you’ll be in or not.
Hope your Mum is doing ok? Oh, and you too!

Thank you very much Kate. Mom is doing better each day though she still has a way to go. She's more mobile now but has to stay home bound until she is fully recovered - so she's social isolated by default. She actually took up knitting again. Can you believe it? Knitting is actually good therapy for motor skills and good mental exercise. I hope she's not making me another blanket! lol that's all i need. I have 3 already - maybe for the living room sofa or as a wall hanging?

Now that is good news, Paul! She must be made of tough stuff! It’ll take time I guess for her to recover, but, it sounds like she has great support, especially from yourself. Knitting is definitely good therapy, I have to agree. It’s known to keep you focused and work on mental stress and anxiety, plus, as you also said, good for motor function and exercise. A possible fourth blanket you say? I’m sure you’ll find a spot in your home somewhere..or it could be worse..knitted underwear! ;-))

Eeek I'll just count my blessings. Can't have too many blankets I suppose.

I HAVE THIS PLANT IN ONE OF MY TUBS. VERY GOOD DOERS. GLAD YOUR MUM IS GETTING BETTER.

Thank you so much Linda. She is doing much better now, getting up and about more. Each day she's a little more feisty. lol

That’s good news, Paul! Feisty is good too! :-)
