This low growing perennial is perfect for pots, rockeries or front of border positions, where it will form an evergreen mound of rich green leaves, which in late spring and early summer, is smothered with a mass of gorgeous purple-eyed white flowers. Becoming drought tolerant once established, Phlox 'Bavaria' is perfect for those dry, sunny spots where little else will grow.

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
