Moss Phlox is also known as Ground Phlox or Creeping Phlox. Phlox is deer and rabbit resistant. The animals are not interested in the plant's foliage. It attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds.

Moss Phlox should be pruned a bit after the blossoms have died back.  This helps the plant grow and in turn produce more blossoms the next spring.  It is slow spreading and is likely to be found as an edging or on slopes and banks, in rock gardens or stonewalls. It is a good ground cover and can help prevent erosion. It is used as a cut flower as well.
