If it looks like these it's an annual phlox and will make flowers for the 'season' which is all summer here in Moab if you plant 'em in the shade.

They may make their new flowers faster for the tender care of deadheading, but will shuck the old flowers for new anyway as most annuals do.

Most of the six packs or pots have been encouraged to bloom earlier and may come back quicker with dead heading - lovely term. Blooms here.
