Notes
'Coral Eye' moss phlox (Phlox subulata 'Coral Eye') is a perennial for rock gardens, ground cover, borders, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in early to late spring and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. It spreads 12 to 24 inches, so give it room to creep.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Gold dust, Bressingham Ruby bergenia, and Red fescue.
