Pink Profusion Phlox, Hybrid Spring Phlox
Aptly named, Phlox x procumbens ‘Pink Profusion’ (Hybrid Spring Phlox) is a mound-forming perennial boasting a profusion of large, deep purplish pink, star-shaped flowers, 1.2 in. across (3 cm), adorned with broad overlapping petals. Blooming for up to 8 weeks from mid-spring to early summer, the blossoms are produced in such great quantities that they cover the foliage and provide an excellent floral display. This hybrid spring phlox produces a dense mass of central stems in the spring, which after blooming become lax on the ground and may or may not layer in to form irregularly spreading mats. This phlox may die back during the summer but will produce a profusion of new flowers the following spring. Perfect for the front of perennial borders, in dappled shade gardens, or on moist slopes. Phlox x procumbens is the botanical name given to Phlox subulata (Moss Phlox) x Phlox stolonifera (Creeping Phlox) hybrids.
