Phlox subulata ‘Emerald Cushion Blue’
A dense, evergreen mat that bursts into a wave of brilliant violet‑blue in spring.
Phlox subulata ‘Emerald Cushion Blue’ is a classic spreading groundcover that creates a lush carpet of color every spring. Its needle‑like foliage stays green year‑round, forming a dense turf ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and edging. When in bloom, the plant is almost entirely covered with lavender‑blue flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Hardy and easy to grow, it’s a Fanelli favorite for low‑maintenance color around walks and walls.
