Drummond Phlox - Red
- Shipping Available
Annual phlox, also known as Drummond's Phlox, is a vibrant annual plant that typically grows to a height of 6-12 inches, but can reach up to 20 inches. Its flowers come in various colors such as pink, red, white, peach, or lavender, often with a pale center. The 1-inch blooms are trumpet-shaped with a short, narrow tube and appear in terminal clusters. The leaves are soft, hairy, and sticky.
If there is a lack of seasonal rains, it's important to provide water during fall, winter, and spring. The plant dies back after going to seed, so it's recommended to plant it with summer and/or fall-blooming wildflowers. As with all annuals, allow the phlox to reseed to ensure a bountiful display the following year.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
