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. Wonderful in the sunny rock garden, for edging, and in mixed containers. Clumps may be ripped apart and divided in early fall, after 3 to 4 years. Requires good drainage. Drought-tolerant, once established. Comes in a 4-inch nursery pot.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike and, therefore, may not be exactly as shown. There will be some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. May be in stages of flowering upon purchase.
