Arguably one of our favorite flowering groundcover perennials here at the nursery, Phlox subulata ‘Purple Beauty’ is as gorgeous as it is versatile and low-maintenance in the landscape. This selection of Moss Phlox, also occasionally referred to as Creeping Phlox, looks absolutely stunning when allowed to spread naturally and create a dense carpet of finely textured foliage that becomes fully covered in lavender-purple blooms come spring. Throughout the end of April and into May, the prolific blooms completely obscure the needle-like foliage to make the plant appear as though it is composed entirely of flowers. When left to scramble over a rock wall or soften up a border edge, ‘Purple Beauty’ Moss Phlox assumes a diminutive but impressively expansive mat of growth, requiring well-draining soil and full sun for its most stunning appearance. Even better, this North American native is also deer-resistant and evergreen in mild winter climates, making it the perfect year-round choice for a variety of site conditions.
