Notes
'Woodlander Purple' moss phlox (Phlox subulata 'Woodlander Purple') is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun. In spring, it covers its semi-evergreen leaves with soft, purplish-violet starry blooms that attract bees. It spreads 24 to 36 inches, so give it room. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Western sword fern, Snowdrop, and Sweet pepperbush.
