Scarlet Phlox (Phlox Drummondii Beauty Scarlet) - Growing annual Phlox seed is a wonderful way to naturalize your landscape and add tremendous visual appeal. Drummond's Phlox is another lovely wildflower that is striking in meadows and also a beautiful addition to your own flower beds. Annual Phlox is easily started from wildflower seeds, and it produces annual plants with bright rose-red flowers in tight clusters at the ends of stems.

Mountain Phlox (Linanthus Grandiflorus) - Establishes easily from Phlox seeds, this beautiful annual lends itself beautifully to a wild flower garden, a naturalized setting, or to your own backyard flower garden. It spills prettily out of a container or the edge of a bed and makes a welcome addition to any setting. Mountain Phlox wildflowers are sweetly scented and provide a profusion of white, sometimes flushed lavender or pink, blooms that practically smother the attractive green ferny foliage. Mountain Phlox Linanthus Grandiflorus is native to the Pacific Northwest region, and especially likes the coast range where it it cool and moist. The Mountain Phlox flower is good for cutting, and it attracts bees, birds and butterflies.
Grow Mountain Phlox seed directly outdoors in either the late fall or the spring. Sow the flower seed into a weed-free area with prepared soil. Lightly cover the wild flower seeds with soil. If sowing in the fall, wait until after a few hard freezes. When the temperatures warm in the spring, the Mountain Phlox wildflower seeds will begin to germinate and establish quickly into early blooming plants.

Yellow Phlox (Phlox Drummondii Nana Compacta Beauty Yellow) - Phlox seeds produce flowers in about 8 - 10 weeks after sowing. Annual Phlox establishes easily and quickly, and it gives a lovely profusion of colors. Drummond Phlox yellow has small flowers with 5-petals. They are lightly scented, flat and attractive to butterflies. Often called Drummond's Phlox, this annual is a native to the gulf coast states, but it can be grown successfully in nearly every climate.
Sow Phlox flower seeds directly outdoors into prepared soil in the late fall or spring. After distributing the flower seed evenly, rake into loosened topsoil to ensure good seed contact with the soil. For earlier blooms, sow the yellow Phlox seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before setting out. As with all annual flowers, it is essential that annual Phlox Drummondii is allowed to re-seed for an abundant display the following year. Annual Phlox care includes trimming the plant back after the first flush of blooms. A trim encourages a second bloom of yellow Phlox flowers.
