Phlox nivalis 'Camla' reminds of finer looking Phlox subulata (Creeping or Moss phlox). Little known, but vigorous plant.
It has shiny, evergreen needle-like leaves and mauve-pinkish, medium-sized flowers. It is very drought and heat tolerant, need well drained or sandy soils. Tough plant with similar needs like creeping phlox. In early spring, the flowers completely cover the whole plants.
Easy to grow perennial, the only need is some sunlight and drainage. Suitable for rock gardens, or edging plant, for dry slopes, as substitute for the lawn in sunny drier soil, sunny areas of woodland gardens, for native plant gardens or naturalizing. Looks very good with rock.
Even this plant is considered "ground covering" plant, it's not highly competitive for true groundcover - it can compete only on sunny and dry spots (other plants can quite easily self-seed, intermingle or even overpower it).
Blooming time : April/May to MaySize : 3-4” tall x 40" wide
USDA zones : 5 to 9
Culture : full sun, half shade, dappled sun, gravelly, rocky, sandy soils, poor and shallow soils, xeriscape. Drainage is essential!
