This variety's flowers sport pink and white stripes like boiled sweets or candy cane. The phlox is popular in flower beds and rocky gardens alike, and will grow into a cushion of bright flowers, spreading over a few years to its full extent. The masses of tiny flowers will bloom for a short time and leave bright evergreen foliage behind to keep your garden lush even when the flowers have faded.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"97\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"92\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"178\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Perennial\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCreeping Phlox, Moss Phlox\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flower: clustered flowers on taller stems\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePerennial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flowers June to August\"}'\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFlower: low, carpet-like growth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhlox subulata \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(needle-shaped flame) 'Candy Stripe'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCreeping Phlox, Moss Phlox\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNative to the U.S., particularly between and around New York and Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning Tips \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTrim back in August- September after all flowers have faded\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWildlife Value \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":897,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Bees; supplies nectar for butterflies and nectar-drinking moths.\"}' data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eBees; supplies nectar for butterflies and nectar-drinking moths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePositioning \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFull Sun to Partial Shade\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":897,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Keep moist while the plant establishes; make sure the top of the root ball is not lower than the soil as this will leave it waterlogged.
