Phlox pilosa (Prairie Phlox)
$ 13.98
Also known as Downy Phlox and Fragrant Phlox.
Prairie Phlox is a mounding perennial that produces clusters of fragrant, pink to lavender flowers. The fragrance attracts insects and the deep, narrow throat is perfect for long-tongued bees, bee-flies, butterflies, skippers and moths.
Prairie Phlox does well in dry to moderately moist, well-draining soil in full sun or part sun. It is not picky about soil type, thriving in loam, clay, sand or rock. It appreciates a summer mulch which helps keep the root zone cool.
