Creeping Phlox (Phlox stolonifera)

Phlox stolonifera is a lovely mat forming perennial wildflower. Plants have evergreen oval or oblong deep green leaves. In late spring or early summer, foliage is crowned by loose clusters of showy lavender flowers. Creeping phlox is a fine groundcover for partly shaded woodlands or gardens with moist well drained soil. This species is indigenous to rich deciduous woodlands, stream banks, open woods, and shaded rocky slopes mostly in the Appalachian Mountains.
