We want to get two different types of Creeping Phlox. However, we'd similar to the 2 flowers to intermix so it looks like a plant near 2 different flowers, and not to have one flower for 16 inches, consequently the other flower. Will these grow together or no?
Answers: I love creeping phlox and have be growing them for over 30 years. They will grow at different paces depending abundantly on your soil. They see to like it a bit sandy and grow faster there.
If you want to see quicker color combining, you might try breaking the plants surrounded by half later mixing the colors and planting them close together. So instead of one big clump of one color, you get a big clump of two colors, afterwards sixteen inches or so apart, you plant another clump of the two colors etc. (You will do need to space them 16 inches apart.)
Sure, they will grow together!
