Phlox Stolonifera

Phlox stolonifera (Creeping Phlox) is a herbaceous perennial plant spreading by stolons, native to woodland in the Appalachian Mountains from Pennsylvania south to northern Georgia.

Flowers are pale purple, pink, or white, 2-2.5 cm across, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens, borne on stems 15-25 cm tall. They lack the central band of color that is present in Phlox subulata.

Leaves are ovate. Those on creeping stems are 3-4.5 cm long and 1.8 cm broad, those on the erect flowering stems smaller, 2 cm long.
