Phlox subulata 'White' – Carpet of Pure White Spring Blooms
Phlox subulata 'White', also known as creeping or moss phlox, is a ground-hugging perennial that bursts into a snow-like mass of white flowers in early spring. Its dense, evergreen foliage spreads quickly, making it ideal for filling in bare spots, cascading over walls, or stabilizing slopes.
This tough, sun-loving ground cover is drought-tolerant and attracts pollinators while keeping weeds at bay. It’s a favorite for rock gardens and border edges where seasonal color and texture are desired.
