Phlox, ‘Candy Stripe’ – Phlox subulata
‘Candy Stripe’ is a stunning variety of creeping phlox known for its eye-catching pink-and-white striped blooms that blanket the ground in early spring. Each star-shaped flower features a crisp white base with a bold pink stripe down the center of each petal, giving a peppermint-candy effect that adds brightness and charm to rock gardens, slopes, walls, and borders.

As a native North American ground cover, Phlox subulata thrives in dry, sunny areas and forms dense, evergreen mats of needle-like foliage. It’s a superb erosion control plant, a reliable source of early nectar for pollinators, and an excellent choice for mass planting in low-maintenance, regenerative landscapes.

Key Characteristics

  • Brilliant Striped Blooms in Early Spring
    ‘Candy Stripe’ lights up the landscape with bi-colored blooms from April to May, often covering the entire plant in a carpet of pink and white. It’s one of the first perennials to bloom, bridging the gap between winter and spring.

  • Evergreen Ground Cover and Erosion Control
    This variety creates a dense, low-growing mat that suppresses weeds and helps stabilize soil on slopes, banks, and retaining walls. Foliage remains evergreen in mild winters, adding year-round texture.

  • Attracts Pollinators Early in the Season
    The nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and early-emerging pollinators. Especially valuable for supporting insect activity before many other flowers bloom.

  • Thrives in Dry, Sunny Conditions
    Once established, ‘Candy Stripe’ is drought-tolerant and performs well in rocky or sandy soils with good drainage. Ideal for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and sunny borders.

  • Low Maintenance and Long-Lived
    Requires little care after establishment. Trim lightly after blooming to maintain a tidy shape and encourage denser growth next season.
