Currently, one million phlox sublata trees are in full bloom in Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou. The 20,000-㎡flower field is located at the north side of Jichang Road and the third phase of Qianjiang Century City Jichang Rd. Pergola.

Phlox subulata, commonly called moss phlox, moss pink, mountain phlox, or creeping phlox, is a vigorous, spreading, mat-forming, sun-loving phlox.

It is noted for its creeping habit, its linear to awl-shaped leaves (which retain some green in winter) and its profuse carpet of mid-spring flowers with notched flower petals.

The loose clusters of fragrant, tubular flowers will be blooming until April 10. Flowers are red-purple to violet-purple, pink, or infrequently white. Each flower has five flat, petal-like, rounded lobes that are distinctively notched. The second florescence falls in October.
