Phlox Bifida Var. Cedaria

Cedar phlox, scientifically known as Phlox bifida var. cedaria, is a striking perennial plant native to the eastern United States. It is prized for its vibrant, fragrant flowers that bloom in early summer, adding color to gardens and natural landscapes. The plant features narrow, grass-like leaves and a compact growth habit, making it ideal for rock gardens or borders. Its unique combination of beauty and hardiness has made it a popular choice among horticulturists and garden enthusiasts. Cedar phlox also plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and enhancing biodiversity in native plant ecosystems.
