Phlox divaricata
Woodland Phlox or Wild Sweet William
Origin: Native to North America, specifically regions from central United States of America to the province of Quebec, Canada.

Opinion
"
A native Ontario woodland plant that is a show stopper in spring when drifts of colour mat be found in our woods and wayside areas. Not often seen growing in cultivation but worthy of the 'award of garden merit' bestowed upon it by the Royal Horticultural Society.
