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.

This tough, sun-loving ground cover is drought-tolerant and attracts pollinators while keeping weeds at bay. It’s a favorite for rock gardens and border edges where seasonal color and texture are desired.

Note

Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
