Phlox 'Emerald Cushion'
A brilliant cushion forming plant, abundantly flowering in spring and early summer. We like to use these for path edgings and foreground plantings with dianthus and armeria. Best in friable soil.
A wonderful variety with large white flowers like Romneya coulteri, unfortunately difficult to propagate so only a few.
