Moss Phlox

Phlox subulata

Description:

This plant grew together with the other plants that I planted in my front garden, at first I considered it weed and was going to take it but as the flowers seemed nice I left it and now there are a full bunch of pretty purple flowers which I don´t know on it.

That's moss phlox - sometimes called creeping phlox :)
It is a wonderful long-lived native perennial in my zone and will keep coming back year after year, especially places it has planted itself! :)
