Its cheerful, early spring blooms crawl over slopes and spill over walls, providing a welcome blanket of vibrant color to winter-weary gardens.

Just as spring is ready to make an entrance, Phlox subulata steals the show.

This hardy North American native spreads into a vibrant carpet of color, lighting up rock gardens, borders, slopes, and walkways with ease. Reaching just 4–6 inches tall, it's a natural fit between pavers and along the front of perennial beds.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, moss phlox rewards with masses of charming blooms that blanket its soft, needle-like foliage each spring. Even after the flowers fade, the dense, semi-evergreen mat keeps the landscape looking fresh.

With more than a dozen colorful varieties to choose, Phlox subulata delivers the early-season color customers are looking for—and the early spring sales growers love.
