Hi all, trying to ID a phlox that a neighbor has shared with me & also want to know if it's a native plant.

It looks like Phlox pilosa 'Bonnie's Pink' that grows wild at Almost Eden Plants, who have told me that they named it for their relative Bonnie. I would just like to check on it.

It is a fragrant pink phlox perennial, apx 2 ft tall, spreads easily, in bloom now in z8b Central Louisiana, heat z9, blooms most of the summer if deadheaded. Stem looks hairy but leaf looks smooth. Likes sun but ok in part sun. Neighbor has never seen mildew on it.

Can anyone tell what kind of phlox it is? Thanks!

Neighbor's: hairy stem, smooth leaf (not sawtooth)
