Phlox is one of the most fragrant and versatile perennials for the home garden. Garden phlox produces tall, dense clusters of flowers in shades of pink, white, lavender, and red that perfume the garden from midsummer through early fall. Creeping phlox spreads into a low, flowering mat that covers slopes and rock gardens in a wash of spring color. Both attract butterflies and other pollinators, and both return reliably year after year with minimal care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata) is an upright perennial that grows 2–4 feet tall, blooming in midsummer with large, fragrant flower clusters. Creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) is a low-growing ground cover that spreads to 2 feet wide, blooming in spring in a dense carpet of color. Both are excellent garden plants — the right choice depends on where you want color and when. Garden phlox is notably fragrant — a classic, sweet scent that carries on the breeze in midsummer. Creeping phlox is lightly scented. If fragrance is important to you, garden phlox varieties are the ones to prioritize; their fragrance is one of their most distinctive and valued qualities. Phlox is an excellent pollinator plant. Garden phlox attracts butterflies, particularly swallowtails, in significant numbers. Its tubular flower form also attracts hummingbirds and hawk moths in the evening. Creeping phlox provides early-season nectar for bees and other pollinators when few other perennials are in bloom. Garden phlox prefers full sun to partial shade — at least 6 hours of direct sun per day for best blooming. Good air circulation reduces the risk of powdery mildew, which can affect phlox in humid summers. Creeping phlox prefers full sun and thrives in lean, well-drained soil, including rock gardens and slopes. We stand behind every plant we ship.
