Prairie Phlox

Phlox pilosa
The bright pink flowers that cluster at the top of this plant are a wonderful addition to any prairie. The slender, spreading and hairy stems grow 1'- 2' tall and hold stiff opposite leaves. Flowering time is May to June (and sometimes fall) and it does best in dry to mesic soil conditions. Pollination is achieved by long-tongued insects such as butterflies.

It blooms mid-summer and is native to moist prairies but will adapt to medium soil conditions. Attracts butterflies and looks good with spotted Joe Pye Weed, Boneset or Blue Flag.
