Phlox subulata 'Purple Beauty' | Purple Beauty Creeping Phlox

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Phlox subulata ‘Purple Beauty’ forms dense mats of needle-like green foliage that create a tidy, low-growing ground layer. In early to mid spring, the plant becomes covered with masses of rich purple flowers, each accented by a darker central eye that adds depth to the display.

Native to eastern North America, this cultivar blooms as winter fades and brings early-season color to the garden. It works well along paths, slopes, rock gardens, and sunny borders, where its spreading habit softens edges and weaves gracefully among stones and early bulbs.
