Purple Sprite Phlox, Hybrid Spring Phlox
Phlox ‘Purple Sprite’ (Hybrid Spring Phlox) is a mound-forming perennial boasting a profusion of bright purple star-shaped flowers adorned with a tiny white halo in their center. Blooming in mid to late spring, the blossoms are produced in such great quantities that they cover the foliage. This hybrid spring phlox blooms a week or so later than Phlox subulata (Creeping Phlox), and does not spread aggressively. It makes a beautiful groundcover and is perfect for rock gardens, cottage gardens and flower borders. Plant with spring bulbs for a long-awaited splash of color in your garden.
