Notes
'Blueberry Swirl Phlox' phlox (Phlox drummondii 'Blueberry Swirl Phlox') is an annual for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and most soil types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Texas Indian paintbrush, Indian blanket, and Golden tickseed.
