Moss phlox / creeping phlox 'North Hills' is a cultivar with white flowers with dark violet-purple, medium sized flowers.
Moss phlox or creeping phlox forms dense low evergreen or semi-evergreen mats. In early spring, the flowers completely cover the whole plants.
Easy to grow perennial, the only need is some sunlight and drainage. Favorite rock garden plan, 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).
