Phlox Species, Threeseed Phlox

I have not grown this plant. Threeseed Phlox (Phlox triovulata; synonym: Phlox nana ssp. glabella) is native to Arizona, New Mexico and ...Read MoreTexas (only Terrell County as of this date) as well as Northern Mexico IChihuahua) and is a taprooted perennial which is found on open rocky slopes, desert shrublands and woodlands: It is 6 to 12 inches tall (described as a dwarf phlox) with the lower part of the stem being shrubby. The 1 to 1.5 long, linear to narrowly lanceolate leaves are described as being a hairy gray-green color; however, they may glabrous to pubescent. The upper surface is often glandular. The blooms are .75 to 1.25 inches in diameter and they are produced from April to July. The stigmas are below most of the anthers while the stamens are inserted on the mid-tube. The corolla lobes are rounded-obovate.
