Phlox subulata
Perennial creeper, growing to a height of 6 inches and covering a 20-inch-wide area. The small, five-petaled flowers bloom in rose, mauve, blue, white, or pink in late spring to early summer. The plants give off an odor that can supposedly be mistaken for marijuana. This has been known to cause altercations between gardeners and law enforcement personnel.
It is native to North America. Here often seen as garden plant.
