Why Choose Prairie Phlox?

Prairie phlox is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that brings color, fragrance, and pollinator activity to a variety of garden settings. Its adaptability to slopes and open woodlands makes it an excellent choice for naturalizing landscapes or enhancing pollinator-friendly spaces. It can also be used as a ground cover for sunny areas. 

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it requires less water.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
