Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’ – Moss Phlox
Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’ is a low-growing and beautifully floriferous evergreen perennial, prized for its masses of star-shaped flowers in soft white with delicate pink striping. Flowering in spring, it creates a vibrant carpet of colour that smothers the foliage and brings fresh seasonal impact to rockeries, walls, gravel gardens, and the front of sunny borders.
Reaching around 10–15 cm in height with a spread of 40–60 cm, this mat-forming perennial develops into a dense cushion of fine evergreen foliage that remains attractive throughout the year. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for softening edges, trailing over stonework, or filling gaps in dry sunny areas.
The cheerful flowers appear in abundance during spring and are highly attractive to bees and other early pollinators. Phlox ‘Candy Stripe’ is particularly effective planted in groups, where it can create a striking blanket of colour across banks, raised beds, or pathways.
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and easy to maintain, making it a reliable choice for lower-maintenance gardens. Light trimming after flowering can help keep plants compact and tidy.
Flowering Period
April: Buds open into masses of white flowers with pink striping
April – May: Peak flowering with dense carpets of colour
Summer onwards: Evergreen foliage provides neat groundcover and structure
With its vibrant spring display, neat evergreen habit, and easy-care nature, Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’ is an excellent low-maintenance perennial for brightening sunny gardens and edging spaces with long-lasting charm.
