What ground cover is best in full sun?
Phlox stolonifera is a favorite for part sun/part shade and phlox subulata is a total winner for full sun, dry locations. Both are evergreen and dense anough that there are few weeds. An occasional haircut is all that’s needed. Summary. Woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata) and creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera) are both shade-loving species prized for their beautiful spring flowers. Many selections have been made over the years for different flower colors; however, only a few are regularly offered at garden centers.
