Phlox subulata Violet Pinwheels

Phlox subulata ‘Violet Pinwheels’ 
Creeping Phlox | Groundcover | Perennial | Zones 3–9

A blanket of color in early spring, Phlox subulata ‘Violet Pinwheels’ covers the ground with starry violet-purple blooms that create a soft, trailing carpet of cheer. The flowers are small but plentiful, and the evergreen, needle-like foliage adds texture even after the blooms fade. It's a favorite for sunny slopes, borders, and rock gardens—and one of the earliest bursts of color in the garden year.

This low-growing groundcover thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s drought tolerant once established, deer resistant, and ideal for edging paths or tumbling over stone walls.
