'Apple Blossom' is a creeping phlox cultivar with stiffish, needle-like, leaves on creeping stems. It forms a mat about 6 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches across. It blooms mid to late spring, and has pale pink flowers with a brighter, deeper pink eye. Use at the front of a sunny border, in a rock garden, or in the park strip.
