Botanical name: Phlox paniculata Family: Polemoniaceae (Phlox family)
Garden Phlox has 3-4-foot stems and fragrant white,
pink or red flowers. All this makes this perennial (it comes back year after
year) an old-fashioned favorite. It is a delight to all gardeners because it
has a long bloom season. Garden phlox has fragrant flowers in clusters,
that come in summer, and then every so often. Garen phlox are available in
a wide range of
pink, rose, red, lavender, purple, and white, along with bi-colors that have
an "eye" in the center of each flower or a contrasting margin. Cultivars range
from softest pastels to electric, "knock-your-socks-off" brilliant blooms.
oppositely arranged on the stem.
