Description

(Hybrid Spring Phlox) Enjoy even more spring color with 'Rose Sprite' Phlox. Although phlox subulata and hybrid spring phlox are different, they look much the same. Phlox 'Rose Spite' blooms 1-2 weeks later than subulata varieties. Standing 6-8 inches tall and spreading up to 24 inches wide, 'Rose Sprite' forms a compact slow spreading mound. This floriferous bloomer produces a canopy of 1 inch rosie pink blooms. Hardy in zones 4-8, planted in full sun is recommended for the best flower show, but very light shade is tolerated. Phlox 'Rose Sprite' is a drought tolerant plant and likes to be planted in well drained locations. This native perennial is butterfly and bee friendly. With its compact size and habit, 'Rose Sprite' is a great selection for borders, edging and walkways as well as rock gardens and slopes. Phlox 'Rose Sprite' is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
