Discovered in TX by the English plant explorer Thomas Drummond in 1835, this phlox is today established along sandy roadsides all the way from Canada into central Florida. Naturally occurring in rose-red, cultivars have extended the color range to include varying shades of pink, lavender, purple, and white. Fragrant, trumpet shaped flower typically bloom from mid-spring through early summer, sometimes reviving in the fall. Great for butterfly and hummingbird gardens!
