PHLOX ROCKS

Sweet Kelly Smith just sent this suggestion: “So, I just got off the phone with the venerable Mike Thompson of Sticks & Stones who presented a solution to your problem. He first asked, “why” the rocks were there, was it for drainage, etc. and could something be planted there. IF so, his suggestion is Creeping Phlox, a low ground cover that flourishes in dry, arid conditions and when mature is a beautiful evergreen and appears to the eye as large mounds of clover. Creeping Phlox doesn’t have to be pruned or maintained much beyond water and fertilization.”

I love Phlox! Thanks! But guess what? For some unknown reason, Dad lined the two white rock gullies with plastic. No access to soil. Love is filling my heart as we speak.
