Phlox Subulata Purple Beauty
There are many selections of Moss Phlox, all of them forming a low mound or cushion of dark green needle-like leaves, smothered by tiny flowers in late spring. This variety produces a showy display of starry light-purple flowers lasting for weeks. Medium-fast growth rate. Clip plants lightly immediately after blooming to encourage a dense habit. Requires good drainage. Wonderful in the sunny rock garden, for edging and in mixed containers.
