'Violet Pinwheels' is a groundcover Phlox hybrid that behaves similarly to Phlox subulata, but with a more intense flower colour than you would expect from the classic varieties. Violet purple flowers nearly glow with intensity when it is in bloom. The notched, upturned petals look like tiny pinwheels, especially with movement from the wind. This groundcover Phlox grows lower to the ground, spreads slowly, and is more restrained than many of the subulata types. Perfect for rock gardens or the front of the border. From Jim Ault at Chicagoland Grows®.
