Drummond's Phlox
Phlox drummondii
In the United States:
Native
· also called drummond's phlox, annual phlox
Honeybees visit Drummond's phlox for nectar and pollen during its early spring bloom, providing a reliable forage source before major flows; peak bloom occurs March through May in its native range. As an annual, it self-seeds readily but can become weedy in gardens if not managed, and its glandular hairs may deter some pests.
