Scarlet Phlox (Phlox Drummondii Nana Compacta Beauty Scarlet) - Another lovely wild flower that is striking in meadows and also a beautiful addition to your own flower beds. Annual Phlox or also known as Drummond Phlox is easily started from wild flower seed, and it produces annual plants with bright rose-red flowers in tight clusters at the ends of stems. Drummond Phlox is a showy, low-growing wild flower that is a native to Texas but can grow nearly in any region. Annual Phlox is a good plant for a low border or in containers. It makes a good cut flower, and it also reseeds easily.
Start Phlox wild flower seed directly outdoors into prepared soil in the late fall or spring. After distributing the seed evenly, rake into loosened topsoil to ensure good seed contact with the soil. As with all annual wild flowers, it is essential that Phlox is allowed to reseed for an abundant display the following year.
