Phlox

The Phlox genus includes reliable and colorful species that bloom both early and late. They also come in a range of rich colors and growing habits. These glorious summer bloomers often have a spicy vanilla-clove perfume. Provide regular watering and part-to-full sun, and your Phlox plants will produce large, full heads of fragrant flowers above sturdy stems. Good companions include Shasta Daisies and Echinacea.
