creeping phlox
Carpet of flowers
Creeping phlox is a low-growing perennial plant that spreads along the ground, forming dense mats of foliage covered with small five-petaled flowers in spring.
Native to eastern North America, it's widely used as ground cover on slopes and in rock gardens: The creeping phlox cascaded over the stone wall in shades of pink and purple.
