Phlox latifolia. coll. #A1VA-032 (Wide-leaf Phlox)

Sun to Part SunZone: 5-8, at least 15" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! New crop available 9-2-2010 (syn: Phlox ovata) We found this small phlox at 2,400' elevation, north of Roanoke, Virginia, back in 2000. It has been a great performer and always draws attention at our Spring Open House. The only problem was getting it identified. Finally, we have determined it to be the little-known Phlox latifolia, an Appalachian native from Pennsylvania south to Alabama. Phlox latifolia is a great rock garden phlox since it makes a small 1' wide patch of open rosettes, composed of 3" x 1" thick green leaves. The clumps are topped with 15" tall spikes of dark pink-lavender flowers in May and June. Phlox latifolia is somewhat anti-social, since it prefers an open site where it will not be crowded by neighbors. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
