Rugged, ground-hugging blooms create a delightful carpet of spring color! Masses of tiny white flowers with a pink mid-stripe on each petal cover the dense green foliage. Spreads easily on slopes, in rock gardens, along pathways or borders. More heat tolerant than garden phlox. An herbaceous perennial.
This very large genus of perennial garden flowers falls into its the Polemoniceae, which contains roughly 13 genera, most of which are native to America. Genus Phlox was classified by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century and named it from the Greek for flame. The genus contains about 50 different species of both annual and perennial flowers. Only one of these is Siberian and the remainder are North American natives. This species was also classified by Linnaeus first as P. setacea, but he later changed it to P. subulata. It is native to sandy soils in thin forested ridges from New York west to Michigan and throughout the Appalachians. It is an old time tradition in the Appalachians to plant this in rough rural lawns and it is found in graveyards throughout the region. |
