Will creeping phlox help with erosion up against our house because we don't have gutters?

We need a plant or something that will keep the water from digging a trench up against our house. I want something with color, though, and not a shrub, bush, etc. that is just green.

The rain running off the roof will destroy the plants if you get a hard down pour, better off to put gutter up and get the water away from the foundation of the house, anything you plant will hold the moisture close to the foundation.
Reply:put up gutters and maybe the phlox will take, but without them, it'll be to much water in a downpour.
