Phlox paniculata
Summer Phlox, Fall Phlox Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Summer Phlox is widely occurring east of the Rocky Mountains in open woods and borders with rich soil. The wild type begins flowering in mid-summer and continues into fall. Flowering stalks topped by pinkish-purple loose elongated balls of 1 inch flowers, may reach 5 feet or more but in a garden in full sun are likely to be less than 4 feet. This is the species that has given rise to so many great color selections for the garden. It is a butterfly magnet and may spread by seed in your garden. It would look great naturalized in a dampish meadow. Cat# 1452
