100 Seeds Mountain Phlox Wildflower Heirloom Garden Planting
Mountain Phlox is a native wildflower prized for its low-growing mat of narrow leaves and early-season blooms that brighten rock gardens, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
Its cheerful star-shaped flowers arrive in shades of white, pink, lavender, and blue, creating a soft carpet effect in spring and early summer. Well suited to naturalized areas, meadow plantings, and edging where a compact, spreading habit is welcome.
