    Details

    Downy Phlox (Phlox pilosa), also known as Prairie Phlox, is a charming native perennial prized for its fragrant, pink to purple flower clusters that bloom in early to mid-spring, offering one of the season’s first bursts of color. This 32-plant pack is ideal for gardeners looking to support pollinators and add vibrant charm to sunny borders, native beds, or rock gardens.

    Forming dense, upright mounds of narrow, lance-shaped foliage, Downy Phlox reaches up to 2 feet tall and is irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds. The blooms not only bring beauty, but also valuable early-season nectar to your yard. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and performs especially well in dry, open areas and prairie-style plantings.

    Why Choose a Tray of Downy Phlox?

    • Fragrant spring color – Brings high energy blooms early in the year.
    • Pollinator-friendly – Supports butterflies, hummingbirds & early bees.
    • Versatile & tough – Great in borders, rock gardens, and native meadows.
