15 Phlox Plants to Try in Your Garden

Phlox Subulata 'Candy Stripe' is a perennial moss phlox (Phlox subulata) that has pink blooming flowers.

Convert a rock garden or slope into a carpet of spring color by planting moss phlox. This ground cover prefers gritty, alkaline soils in full sun, which means it thrives in planting beds along concrete sidewalks or driveways. Flowers sparkle in spring and bring long-lasting color to the garden. After blooms fade, trim any dead or weak growth. Plants are hardy in Zones 2 to 9.

The beautiful two-tone soft pink and magenta flowerheads of 'Bright Eyes' phlox bloom from midsummer through early fall.

This woodland phlox is a spreading, native wildflower that often appears along streams and in woods and is ideal for rock gardens.
