Longleaf Phlox

Longleaf Phlox is a western phlox of dry, open habitats in the intermountain West, producing clusters of pale pink to white flowers on stems with distinctively long, narrow leaves. It grows across sagebrush steppe, pinyon-juniper woodland, and dry montane slopes from British Columbia to New Mexico. The flowers are fragrant and attract a wide range of native bees, butterflies, and moths. It often grows in rocky soils where other phlox species cannot establish, colonizing disturbed areas and roadsides.
