Fresh, luminous and effortlessly neat, Phlox 'Ground White' offers a graceful solution for covering bare soil with something both beautiful and practical. Reaching a modest 15–20cm in height, Phlox 'Ground White' forms a dense, evergreen carpet of fine, needle-like foliage that quietly suppresses weeds while keeping the garden looking polished. In spring, this tidy mat is transformed as a flurry of crisp white flowers appears, creating a soft, cloud-like effect that brightens rockeries, borders and the edges of paths. Phlox 'Ground White' is particularly effective when allowed to spill gently over walls or nestle between paving, where its fresh tones bring a sense of calm and cohesion.
Also known as white moss phlox, Phlox 'Ground White' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding even minimal care with a reliable, long-lasting display. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for filling awkward gaps, while its evergreen nature ensures year-round structure. Phlox 'Ground White' is wonderfully low-maintenance, making it as appealing to experienced gardeners as it is to those just beginning. Year after year, Phlox subulata 'Ground White' returns with dependable vigour, proving that simplicity can be every bit as striking as more elaborate planting schemes. A quietly elegant choice, it lends a sense of lightness and order wherever it settles.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
