Phlox subulata ‘Nettleton Variation’
Variegated Moss Phlox |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.410.210
There are many selections of Moss Phlox, all of them forming a low mound or cushion of dark green needle-like leaves, smothered by tiny flowers in late spring. This unique variety produces a showy display of bright-pink flowers over a mat of green and white striped leaves. Slow-growing habit, but unusual and choice. Clip plants lightly immediately after blooming to encourage a dense habit. Wonderful in the sunny rock garden, for edging, or in mixed containers. Clumps may be ripped apart and divided in early fall, after 3 to 4 years. Requires good drainage. Drought tolerant, once established.
