Phlox drummondii, also known as annual phlox or Drummond's phlox, is a flowering plant in the Polemoniaceae family. It is native to Texas and can also be found along public highways in the southeastern United States. This plant is commonly used as an ornamental plant due to its wide range of flower colors, including white, pink, purple, and red. It was named after Scottish botanist Thomas Drummond, who collected and sent samples of the plant back to Britain after his expedition to Texas in the 1830s. Phlox drummondii is an annual plant that grows from seed each year and has sharp, pointed leaves and star-shaped flowers. It is tolerant of cold weather but requires frequent watering and does not do well in drought, wind, or heat. This plant is also attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.
