Phlox ‘Eye Shadow’

‘Eye Shadow’ is everything we hope a ground cover would be—durable, floriferous, and easy to manage. Offering a spectacular wave of purple-pink blooms to end the spring season, this phlox produces so profusely that the dark green foliage is almost invisible. The blossoms are intensely colorful and show shades of lavender to magenta with a deep plum eye and gold anthers to add some pleasing contrast. Did we mention that butterflies, bees, and other pollinators love them too? Add this groundcover to your pollinator garden for an extra splash of low-lying beauty and color and you won’t be disappointed. It works in beds, as a colorful border, or even spread as ground cover. This sun-loving perennial grows well in gritty, rocky soil making it a great choice rough-and-tumble landscapes and does best in full sun. No matter how you slice it, ‘Eye Shadow’ is a must-have.
