Phlox subulata are known for being the most colourful groundcover plants; often known as Moss Phlox because of the fine foliage. In Spring, pretty blooms cover the dense, evergreen, weed-suppressing blanket with dramatic effect. Ideal to grow between paths, patios, at the front of a border, in a rock or gravel garden, or spilling from a container attracting butterflies. Popular in Japan, where colourful meadows of Phlox subulata has instigated the Fuji Shibazakua Festival, which is held each year between mid-April and early June, where visitors celebrate the sheer beauty. The Hardy Groundcover Phlox collection comprises; ‘Benita’, ‘Drummond Pink;, ‘Emerald Cushion Blue’, ‘Candy Stripe’, and ‘Scarlet Flame’. Phlox subulata are amazingly versatile, being deer resistant, drought tolerant, attractive to butterflies and happy in sandy soil - so perfect for growing in coastal areas. Phlox subulata are not fussy on soil conditions, grow in sun and part shade. Reaching a height of approximately 15cm and spreading to around 45-60cm, Phlox subulata are fully hardy perennials so you can enjoy them for years to come without the need for any winter protection. .
