100 Seeds Annual Phlox Phlox drummondii

Annual Phlox is a charming, low-growing annual prized for its clusters of small, five-petaled blooms that appear in a wide range of bright shades, including pink, red, purple, white, and lavender. Blooming over a long season, it creates a colorful, slightly fragrant carpet that draws the eye in borders, beds, and containers.
This versatile plant works well for mass plantings, edging, rock gardens, and mixed wildflower-style displays, and the blooms are suitable for fresh cut flower arrangements. It grows quickly from seed and performs best in cooler weather, tending to fade as intense summer heat arrives. For continued color, stagger sowings or provide light afternoon shade.
