Sometimes plant breeders take a little license with color. For example, this free flowering, easy care landscape wonder is called 'Purple Beauty' and it truly is the closest of this Phlox type to that color. It does, however, have a good bit of lavender mixed with purple on its masses of flowers but each star-like flower has a contasting, dark center ring that is purple and then some. The result: a bloom that is not completely purple but is as striking as any Creeping Phlox you'll find when it explodes into flower in early May. Easy to grow, this creeping Phlox makes a great groundcover that flows well over all bumps and obstacles in its way while being easy to maintain and resistant to deer.
