Phlox subulata ‘White Delight’
Creeping Phlox / Alpine Phlox

Phlox subulata ‘White Delight’ is a low-growing, spreading perennial ideal for vibrant ground cover. Its semi-evergreen, dark green needle-like foliage forms a dense mat, while bright white flowers bloom just above the foliage in mid to late spring. Perfect for mass plantings, rock gardens, and cascading over retaining walls, this hardy creeping phlox thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought tolerant once established.
