Fragrance, beauty and drought tolerance… what more could you want in a flower?
Prairie phlox (Phlox pilosa) is a native Texas perenial that does well in part sun or bright shade. The smell is intoxicating and it is a butterfly manget! It has a heady bloom in the late spring and then goes partiallyl dormant for summer and fall. It stands about a foot tall. We have it blanketing the ground underneath the weeping peach trees right near a garden bench. Heaven!
