Welcome to our new site
Phlox subulata ‘Blue Emerald’ is a popular evergreen perennial that forms a dense, low-growing carpet of delicate lavender-blue flowers in mid to late spring, beautifully blanketing its fine, needle-like dark green foliage. This vigorous, mat-forming variety spreads readily to create a soft, moss-like effect, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, slopes, edging, or cascading over walls. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal care. Hardy, deer-resistant, and attractive to butterflies, ‘Blue Emerald’ delivers a refreshing splash of colour and texture, perfect for brightening the front of borders and sunny garden spaces.
Latin Name Phlox subulata 'Emerald Blue'

🌱 Perennial Care Guide (Gatineau/Ottawa)
All perennials at Nesbitt’s are suitable for hardiness zones 1 through 5. This means they are selected to withstand a wide range of colder climates and seasonal temperature variations in our region.
Perennials are expected to return year after year when planted in the right conditions. To support strong root development and long-term performance, use well-draining soil and enrich with compost or peat moss. Choosing the right plant for your garden’s light and soil will help ensure reliable growth and consistent blooms each season.
