- Protects against soil erosion
- Loads of blooms; attracts butterflies
- Carpet phlox makes an outstanding ground cover
Star-shaped blooms in a rosy shade of red cover this matlike plant from early to mid spring, adding bold color and an attractive landing field for bees and butterflies. Crimson Beauty features rich green, semi-evergreen foliage that fills the area all summer long. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant perennial plant also tolerates frost, once established. It really is the ideal choice for a ground cover. For best results, plant phlox where it will receive plenty of direct sun. Perfect for front borders and containers. Zones 3-8
