Annual Phlox, Drummond Phlox, Pride-of-Texas, Texas Pride
Native to Texas, Phlox drummondii (Annual Phlox) is an erect annual boasting a profusion of showy, bright rose-red, pink, or white trumpet-shaped flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), in flat clusters in early spring to early summer. In cool summer climates, Annual Phlox will continue to bloom throughout summer. Borne at the tips of the stems, the fragrant blossoms are favorites of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and other pollinating insects. They rise above the stem-clasping foliage of soft, hairy, and sticky dark-green leaves. Annual Phlox dies back after going to seed, so you may want to plant it with summer and fall-blooming wildflowers. Treasured in gardens since the 1800s, this sweet-smelling versatile annual is a terrific addition to flower beds, containers, hanging baskets, rock gardens, and short-grass or wildflower meadows.
