Phlox carolina, the thickleaf phlox,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Polemoniaceae. It is an herbaceous perennial growing to 1.2 m (4 ft) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide, with leaves to 13 cm (5 in) long, and purple or pink flowers in summer.[2]
The specific epithet carolina refers to its native habitat in the eastern United States.[3] It grows in woodland edges and openings.[4] Flowers attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.[5]
It is the parent of numerous garden cultivars, of which 'Bill Baker'[6] (pink) and 'Miss Lingard'[7] (pure white) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[8]
