Phlox douglasii ‘Rose Cushion’

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 is a very compact variety, bearing masses of soft baby-pink flowers. Very compact habit, and a slow spreader. Clip plants lightly immediately after blooming to encourage a dense habit. Wonderful in the sunny rock garden, for edging, or in alpine troughs and other containers. Clumps may be ripped apart and divided in early fall, after 3 to 4 years. Requires good drainage.
