I followed the advice carefully but nothing grew... maybe it's due to the lousy weather we had.

The Phlox subulata 'Candy Stripes', commonly known as Moss Phlox, is an excellent ground cover with a spreading habit, very floriferous and fast-growing. Ideal for rockeries, wall borders or in a container on a sunny terrace.

This hardy perennial forms a compact, evergreen carpet. The 'Candy Stripes' Moss Phlox has 2cm (1in) long, opposite, linear leaves, medium green on trailing stems, which root easily. In April, beautiful star-shaped flowers measuring 2cm (1in) in diameter, pure white with candy pink stripes, completely cover the foliage, creating a dense carpet of flowers.

Originating from the United States, the 'Candy Stripes' Moss Phlox thrives in well-drained, light soil, even in dry, sunny conditions. It is a robust plant that forms a lovely cascade of flowers along a wall and brightens up rockeries. Pair it with aubrietas, saxifrages, or botanical tulips.
