Posted - Jun 05 2007 : 12:37:09 PM I have creeping phlox in my front yard (the lavender kind) and while I have lots of the "moss", I have very few flowers. Any ideas?

Posted - Jun 04 2007 : 6:16:36 PM The flowers and plant as a whole look like moss,think purple carpeting.Unless Phlox can look like that I dunno,the only plox I know of is tall stalk like. |
