Brilliant rose-pink flowers engulf the mat-forming evergreen foliage in spring. An RHS award-winning fragrant edger, it is also lovely when allowed to drape over a low stone wall or cascade down a slope.

Over time, Phlox McDaniel’s Cushion will continue to spread so give it plenty of elbow room. This lovely variety was a recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. Phlox subulata is quickly becoming a popular perennial for green roof construction. Every year the benefits of “vegitecture” are used on new and old buildings. It reduces impervious surface areas, filters pollutants, lowers energy consumption and creates an pleasing environment for rooftops.
