Another introduction from the intrepid seed firm of Alplains this is the catalog description: 32755.13  (W) Coconino Co., AZ, 7200ft, 2195m.  (= P. longifolia ssp. brevifolia = P. stansburyi v. brevifolia). An outstanding cushion Phlox with wide, stiff leaves and luminous cerise-pink flowers. Seeds germinate readily and I find the plants relatively easy to cultivate. Grows on volcanic loam which dries out in the summer.
