About Annual phlox
Annual phlox is a cheerful Texas native that brings real beauty to any garden. The flowers bloom in lovely shades of pink, red, white, and purple, and they're wonderful for attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Bees absolutely love them. Because it's a native plant, it fits naturally into our local landscapes and doesn't need fussing over like some fancy ornamentals do.
Growing annual phlox is refreshingly simple. Plant it in a sunny spot where it gets good light, and give it regular water while it's getting established. It's a true annual, meaning it completes its whole life cycle in one season, so you'll enjoy flowers and then replant next year if you like. That's part of the charm. These tough little plants are forgiving and rewarding, even for beginners. You'll love having them in your garden.
