About Moss Phloxes
Commonly known as Creeping Phlox, Phlox subulata creates a literal carpet of blooms every spring that will last for about six weeks and is, quite frankly, hard to compare to any other groundcover. Creeping phlox is minimally invasive, so it’s rather well-behaved and plays well with others (read: will fill in around plants without smothering them to death).
Put this showy spring perennial in full sun; along walkways, on steep slopes, and anywhere that could use an evergreen groundcover to really look filled out. When this plant is done blooming, it resembles a needly kind of moss, which makes it an attractive, reliable filler.
