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.
