This unusual selection of Moss Phlox is perfect for plant collectors and newbie gardeners alike. In spring, bubblegum pink blooms create carpets of color in sunny parts of the garden, growing in harmony with shrubs and larger perennials to maximize spring flower power. When the flowers fade, the unique foliage beneath is revealed – thin and needle-like (as with other moss phlox) but instead of dark green, boasting variegated leaves with delicate striping. This bold phlox could very well be the low-maintenance ground cover your garden is missing
