Found throughout the Tallgrass Prairie region on the dry soils of open woods and cleared areas. Flowers from April to June and the blooms from range from pink to rose to violet; sometimes white. Leaves are opposite on the stem and have no petiole (leaf stem). Seed pods "explode" when dry.

Early medical practitioners made a tea from the leaves of the Phlox genus to treat eczema and to "purify the blood". A tea made from the boiled roots was once thought to cure venereal diseases. This is an excellent plant for attracting hummingbirds.
