Phlox subulata 'Snowflake'

phlox

Product Image
This spreading and low-growing phlox is ideal for alpine beds or pots, but it also makes a wonderful ground cover at the front of a sunny border. It can even be used to fill gaps between paving slabs - or tumble over the top of a wall. In spring, you can enjoy the white flowers, which virtually smother the foliage and create a carpet of stars.
