Santa Fe Phlox, White-eyed Phlox, Canyon Phlox
Hardy, easy to grow, and rabbit-resistant, Phlox nana (Santa Fe Phlox) is a low-growing perennial forming a mound of five-petaled star-shaped flowers from early spring to early summer. The dainty flowers often have a conspicuous white-ringed center and come in colors ranging from purple to pink, white, or rarely yellow. Blooming continually for weeks, they are borne at the tips of wiry stems covered with narrow, gray-green hairy, sticky leaves. Thriving in canyons, on rocky slopes, along roadsides and in disturbed areas, this Western native wildflower is a lovely addition to the home garden. Perfect along pathways or in rockeries.
