Phlox, Creeping Phlox, Moss Phlox 'Fort Hill'

I bought one of these and two Emerald Blue this past early spring. By far, this one (Fort Hill) looked the best and so far is surviving t...Read Morehe best out of the lot! One of the Emerald Blue was eaten by something (bunny or woodchuck, I'm not sure because I have both!!) - chewed all the green clean off. It does look like it's recovering though, with green leaf growing in. But the Fort Hill wasn't touched, and it still looks green and lush in July, zone 6. The Emerald Blue that was not eaten, is not looking so good. Bare in some spots, dying on others. I hope they all come back next year okay!
By far though, Fort Hill has been looking great, whether in bloom or not!

I have always found a spot in my garden for a creeping phlox because i love that they are one of the earlier plants to show bright colors. The foliage can become a little boring and entangled looking by the time summer rolls around, but if i trim them up a little and keep up with a light watering - i will get another small bloom of flowers in mid summer.
I have found this plant used best along walls where you can allow it to hang (or creep) down as it desires, but currently have it i have planted in a level garden and am showing just as much of a spread!
