Phlox plant named ‘Pink Sparkles’

Abstract

A unique cultivar of Hybrid Creeping Phlox named ‘Pink Sparkles’ characterized by moderately-vigorous, dense, spreading, multi-stemmed, winter-hardy habit with short, bright-green, shiny, linear leaves. Flowering begins in mid-spring and continuing for up to six weeks in cooler weather conditions, on heavily-branched peduncles and completely cover the plant in peak season. Petals are soft baby-pink with darker eye marks and a center than lightens with maturity. The petals have a medium deep notch and the tips of the petals. The new plant is able to withstand dry conditions once established, and the foliage stays clean and resists mildew. The new plant is especially suitable for the landscape as a potted plant and in the garden as a specimen or en masse.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of a Hybrid Creeping  Phlox, Phlox  plant named ‘Pink Sparkles’, as herein described and illustrated.
