PHLOX x ‘Violet Pinwheels’ PP25884
Hybrid Spring Phlox
height: 4-5″
zone: 4
habit: groundcover
This groundcover Phlox grows lower to the ground, spreads slowly, and is more restrained than varieties like ‘Purple Beauty’ or ‘Blue Emerald’. Violet purple flowers nearly glow with intensity when it is in bloom. The notched, upturned petals look like tiny pinwheels, especially with movement from the wind. Perfect for rock gardens or the front of the border.
