Hardy Perennial. This perennial phlox forms an evergreen mound of foliage with fine, needlelike leaves. Use in a sunny spot where you need a low-growing plant with some multi-seasonal interest. This is a good plant for a spot where it can be viewed close up, perhaps at the top of a wall in a rock garden. Flowers are colorful and completely cover the plant in late spring and early summer. Spreads rapidly to cover any open sunny spot. Prefers sandy soil.
