Phlox pulchra, also known as Wherry's phlox or Alabama phlox, is a perennial flowering plant endemic to Alabama in the United States. It was first collected in 1929 and later identified as a new species by Dr. Wherry in 1934. The plant has showy, fragrant flowers in shades of pink, rose, and peach, and is available in horticulture as cultivars. It grows from rhizomes and has both flowering and sterile stems. The plant is found in well-drained sandy loam soils in areas that have been logged or burned. It is listed as a critically imperiled species both in Alabama and globally, and is currently only protected in one location. Conservation efforts include fire and forest clearing, as well as protection from invasive species, commercial exploitation, urbanization, and grazing.
