Common Name:
Moss Phlox 'Rosea'
Description:
Phlox subulata 'Rosea', commonly known as Moss Phlox 'Rosea', is a low-growing, evergreen perennial celebrated for its dense, mat-forming habit and vibrant spring display. In mid to late spring, it produces a profusion of star-shaped, bright pink flowers that blanket the foliage, creating a striking carpet of color. The needle-like, dark green leaves provide year-round interest and resemble moss, hence the common name. This cultivar is ideal for rock gardens, slopes, and as a ground cover, where it effectively suppresses weeds and prevents soil erosion. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, including sandy or gravelly types, and is drought-tolerant once established. Shearing the plant after flowering helps maintain a neat form and encourages new foliage growth, enhancing its appearance for the next blooming season.
