Annual Phlox plants are a favorite among gardeners who love show-stopping blossoms. This plant is known for producing massive clusters of flowers in spring and summer. The phlox plant features small, flat blooms that burst out of the top of the plant. The flowers always have five petals with a rounded or slightly pointed tip, so their shape is very similar to a star. During peak blooming season, a plant can easily produce hundreds of blossoms.
It's blossoms come in a wide range of different colors. Depending on the variant you select, phlox can be red, purple, white, pink, or blue. Blooms can range from soft, pastel shades of blush pink and lavender to bright, eye-catching shades of magenta and crimson. Many types have variegated blooms that create particularly impressive visuals. Some common options include royal purple blooms with white centers or pink with red centers.
Though it is mostly known for its flowers, it continues to make a statement even when it's not in bloom. Before and after it blossoms, the plant has a graceful look that accentuates any property. It tends to grow in clusters of around six inches to 20 inches tall. The vertical stalks have a pleasantly even look with regular rows of leaves. Phlox leaves typically have an elongated, teardrop shape with small ripples down the center of each leaf. They're a medium green shade in most cases, but some variants may have silvery green leaves. The upright spikes of phlox plants add plenty of visual appeal to any location.
Annual phlox creates dense carpets of flowers that work well for landscapers. Some people like to plant phlox as filler in flower beds, and others like to arrange the plant into low shrubs or borders. The versatile colors make it easy to coordinate with your other plants and decor. It's also a popular form of groundcover for people who prefer more informal arrangements. A sweeping blanket of phlox in the spring or summer creates a charming backdrop, and its bright colors work well in wildflower gardens.
