No.8 Low Maintenance Gardening Moss Phlox



Every summer, I had planted several kinds of annual flowers in my garden such as pansies, marigolds, petunias. This summer, instead of my regular annual favorite flowers, I chose to plant perennial plants so that every year my garden would grow with more flowers, and this part is appealing to me, I would not have to do a physically heavy gardening to dig new holes to plant new plants every year. (Gardening is fun, but, I am not getting younger every year, you know.)

So, I have planted two kinds of Moss Phloxes, Scarlet Flame and Candy Stripe, which are perennial flowers. One of my neighbor’s front yard has been partially covered by a pink Moss Phlox flowers and Moss Phloxes seem to be a very good choice to plant in my area. Also, in Japan, Moss Phloxes are called lawn cherry blossom, I hope I am right about this, because their flowers look like. I had grown up with enjoying Moss Phloxes and I would be happy to see the Moss Phloxes would make a beautiful flower carpet in my garden and would help bees' population.
