The creeping phlox Phlox subulata 'Amazing Grace' is a charming perennial that hugs the ground and has an abundance of starry, white flowers with a little purple eye. The attractive blossoms, which bloom in the middle to late spring, are produced in such large numbers that they literally cover the evergreen foliage of needle-like dark green leaves. This creeping phlox forms a lovely groundcover and is ideal for rocky areas, slopes, and flower borders. It adds a flash of color for about 3–4 weeks.
