I'm guessing you need advice about the creeping phlox? I've found it to be an easy to grow and undemanding plant. I put it against the wall of my house in my flowerbeds to keep from having mulch up against the house (termites) a couple of years ago. It's spreading very nicely and rooting itself right through the mulch. I think it makes a great ground cover. When I planted it I added some peat to soften up my heavy clay soil and I also put some root stimulator. We had a real dry summer the first year so I also had to do some supplemental watering. Once it gets going, it doesn't need any further babying. It's really pretty when it blooms too. I think you will be very happy with your choice.
