Garden phlox adds height, fragrance, and color to sunny flower beds with its upright stems topped by rounded clusters of blooms in pink, purple, white, red, and bicolor patterns. Blooming from midsummer into early fall, phlox is beloved by butterflies and hummingbirds. Newer mildew-resistant varieties perform well even in humid climates, and regular deadheading encourages rebloom. Its classic cottage garden look makes it a favorite for borders, backdrops, and mixed perennial beds.
