Amazing Grace Creeping Phlox
Phlox subulata ‘Amazing Grace’Amazing Grace Creeping Phlox is a low-growing native perennial prized for its masses of white flowers accented with soft pink centers in spring.

The blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators while adding bright seasonal color to sunny landscape areas.
