{"product_id":"violet-pinwheels-phlox","title":"Violet Pinwheels Phlox","description":"\u003cdiv\u003ePhlox x 'Violet Pinwheels' is a long blooming native hybrid covered with rich purple flowers from mid-to-late spring. The notched upturned petals shimmer like tiny pinwheels in the spring air, harmonizing beautifully with spring blooms and attracting pollinators. With evergreen needle-like foliage, this low-growing perennial behaves like Creeping Phlox, but with more intense flowering. A hybrid of two western native Phlox species, this is a resilient groundcover for Western gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhlox x 'Violet Pinwheels' is an early blooming evergreen perennial, with blooms lasting for up to 6 weeks. Requiring a full sun location and average soil, it needs moderate water to establish; thereafter it is a hardy, waterwise plant. Perfect for rock gardens or slopes where it can help stabilize soil, it covers ground beautifully. Attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies it provides much-needed early food sources for pollinators. A perfect pairing to create a carpet of color beneath spring blooming bulbs such as Crocus, Tulips, Daffodils, and Snowdrops. This North American native hybrid was developed by Dr. Jim Ault at Chicago Botanic Garden as a cross between Phlox bifida, or Sand Phlox, and Phlox kelseyi, a mat-forming western Phlox. This Phlox is lower-growing and slower to spread compared to classic Creeping Phlox varieties such as ‘Purple Beauty’ or ‘Blue Emerald’.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"plant - 5\" deep pot","offer_id":47295814697122,"sku":"HC018266","price":9.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"tray of 18","offer_id":47295814729890,"sku":"HC018266-2","price":9.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/9679\/3250\/files\/phlox-violet-pinwheels-1.jpg?v=1780075042","url":"https:\/\/perennialzoneca.com\/products\/violet-pinwheels-phlox","provider":"High Country Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
