Snowflake Phlox

Snowflake Phlox (Phlox subulata 'Snowflake') is a stunning, low-growing perennial groundcover phlox that transforms the spring garden into a breathtaking carpet of pure white star-shaped flowers — one of the most spectacular and reliable spring bloom displays available for sunny, well-drained garden sites. Moss Phlox varieties like 'Snowflake' are celebrated for their ability to completely smother their dense, needle-like evergreen foliage beneath an unbroken sea of blooms in early spring, creating a visual impact that few other groundcover perennials can rival. The brilliant white flowers remain pristine and luminous for weeks, brightening borders, rock gardens, slopes, and pathway edges with an irresistible seasonal display.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, delivering well-rooted specimens that establish quickly and spread steadily to form dense, weed-suppressing mats of evergreen foliage. Snowflake Phlox thrives in full sun with excellent drainage and is notably drought tolerant once established — a natural choice for rock gardens, dry stone walls, sunny slopes, and front-of-border edging where its low, spreading habit and spectacular spring display can be fully appreciated.

• Breathtaking White Spring Carpet: Dense, mat-forming habit is completely smothered in pure white star-shaped flowers in early spring, creating one of the most spectacular and reliable spring bloom displays available for sunny, well-drained garden sites.
• Evergreen Groundcover Year-Round: Dense, needle-like evergreen foliage maintains attractive, weed-suppressing groundcover structure throughout all four seasons, providing reliable garden presence long after the spring blooms have finished.
• Rock Garden & Wall Plant Extraordinaire: Naturally at home cascading over retaining walls, tumbling down dry stone slopes, and spreading through rock gardens — Snowflake Phlox softens hard landscape features with effortless grace.
• Drought Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Once established in a sunny, well-drained location, requires minimal supplemental irrigation and ongoing care — a dependable, long-lived groundcover for low-maintenance landscape applications.
• Early Season Pollinator Resource: Pure white blooms provide an important early-season nectar source for emerging butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators at a time when few other plants are in flower.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with well-drained to dry soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–9; mature height 4–6 inches with a spread of 18–24 inches. Blooms early to mid-spring (March–May). Shear lightly after blooming to maintain a compact, tidy habit and encourage dense new foliage growth. Excellent for rock gardens, slopes, wall edges, and front-of-border groundcover applications.
