Drummond Pink - Creeping Phlox

Drummond Pink is a creeping phlox selection with pink flowers and a low, spreading habit. It is suited to the front of a border, a rock garden, or a sunny slope where its spring flowers can cover the ground without obscuring neighboring plants. ## Flowers and placement The official Darwin product page styles the selection as “Drummond’s Pink” and describes large pink flowers with deep-pink centers. It lists a height of 4–6 inches and a spread of 12–18 inches, with early-spring and spring bloom. [Darwin Perennials](https://www.darwinperennials.com/Products/Details/?ph1=1749&phid=049201449007181) provides selection-specific color, size, light, and water guidance. ## Growing conditions Provide sun or partial sun and soil that drains well. The grower’s page lists light water and drought tolerance; treat that as established-plant guidance, watering more consistently during the first growing season and during prolonged dry spells. The broader species profile from [North Carolina State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/phlox-subulata/) notes that creeping phlox prefers well-drained soil and can appreciate dappled shade in hot, humid summers. ## Maintenance After flowering, trim the stems lightly if the mat needs shaping. Keep the crown out of standing water and remove weeds while the plants fill in.
