Fort Hill Moss Phlox (Phlox subulata ‘Fort Hill’)

Fort Hill Moss Phlox (Phlox subulata ‘Fort Hill’)

Fort Hill Moss Phlox is a low-growing perennial valued for its vibrant rosy-pink blooms and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Phlox subulata is known for its ability to create a colourful carpet in early spring.

This herbaceous perennial forms a mat of fine, needle-like evergreen foliage. In early to mid-spring, it becomes covered in masses of small, star-shaped flowers in warm pink tones, creating a bright and eye-catching display. The blooms attract pollinators such as bees and provide one of the earliest bursts of colour in the landscape.

Fort Hill Moss Phlox is well-suited for groundcover, rock gardens, slopes, and border edging. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for filling spaces, cascading over walls, and helping control erosion.

Sun Requirements ▾

Full sun. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for dense, compact growth and abundant spring flowering. Light partial shade can be tolerated, but plants grown with insufficient sunlight may produce fewer flowers and develop a looser growth habit.

Watering Instructions ▾

Low to moderate. Water regularly during the first growing season while plants establish a strong root system. Once established, Fort Hill Moss Phlox has good drought tolerance and prefers the soil to dry somewhat between waterings. Avoid consistently wet or waterlogged conditions.

Care Tips ▾

Lightly shear plants after the main spring flowering period to remove faded blooms, encourage dense fresh growth, and maintain a neat, compact habit. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage loose foliage growth at the expense of flowering. Excellent drainage is particularly important for healthy growth and reliable overwintering. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
