Phlox
(pronounced "flocks" and meaning 'flame' in Latin) is a genus of 67 species of
annual or perennial flowering plants. Some species flower in early spring while
others flower in summer into fall. Most species are native to temperate North
America but a few species are also from northeastern Asia. They are found
growing in diverse habitats from alpine locations to open woodlands and
prairies.
Phlox range in
color from pale blue to bright red to white. Some species such as Phlox
glaberrima (Smooth Phlox) grow to 1.5 m tall, while others, such as Phlox
stolonifera (Creeping Phlox), form low mats only a few centimetres in
height.
Phlox is best
grown in well-drained soil, exposed to partial shade to partial sun.
