100 Mountain Phlox Seeds Linanthus grandiflorus Wildflower Cottage Garden Pollinator Planting
Mountain Phlox (Linanthus grandiflorus) is an annual wildflower grown for its airy clusters of pale lilac to white blooms that open above fine, needle-like foliage. It is a good choice for meadow-style plantings, cottage beds, and borders where a light, natural look is desired.
This wildflower pairs well with other annuals in mixed beds, wildflower mixes, and container plantings, and its open blooms are frequently visited by bees and other pollinating insects. Plants grow quickly from seed and bloom over a long summer season in full sun.
