Description
Moss phlox, also known as moss pink, mountain phlox or creeping phlox, is a vigorous, spreading, mat-forming, sun-loving phlox that grows to only 6 feet tall but spreads to 24 inches wide. It is noted for it creeping habit, its linear to awl-shaped leaves, and its profuse carpet of mid-spring flowers with notched flower petals. It is native to somewhat dry, rocky or sandy places, open woodland areas and slopes from Michigan, Ontario and New York south to Tennessee and mainly in the Appalachians to North Carolina. Loose clusters of fragrant, tubular flowers bloom in April-May. Flowers are red-purple to violet-purple, pink or infrequently white. These beauties were captured in southwest Missouri.
