Phlox Violet Pinwheels is an evergreen perennial producing masses of starry flowers with notched, upturned petals, opening vivid purple and aging to a still-vivid violet color. Blooming as early as late March and extending into mid-May, the flowers are so abundant that they literally cover for four to six weeks the dark green, needle like foliage. Forming a slowly spreading carpet, this recently introduced hybrid phlox is perfect for rock garden, on slopes, over a wall, or at the front of a sunny border. Attract butterflies, average water needs and prefers well drained soil.
