Geochang Geongyejeong walking trail is being planted with moss phlox flowers.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that it planted 130,000 moss phlox plants along the Geongyejeong walking trail, a popular spot among residents.

The moss phlox was planted along both sides of the stream (1 km) from Geo-Yeol Bridge (3 bridges) to the Geoyeol Villa section, and the pink flowers are expected to bloom spectacularly from April to May, providing a unique visual attraction.

Moss phlox looks like grass from a distance but is called moss phlox because of its beautiful flowers. The flowers resemble dianthus and spread along the ground, so it is also called dianthus.

The flowers mainly bloom in April, and the plant is characterized by underground stems that extend long beneath the soil.

Choi Tae-hwan, head of the Forestry Division, said, “Due to the difficulty of visiting other regions amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we planted moss phlox along the embankment of Wicheoncheon Stream in the town to renovate the walking trail. In the future, we plan to plant additional spring flowers that complement the moss phlox to create a spring outing destination enjoyed by families with children.”
