Phlox

Phlox carolina, Phlox amplifolia

Phlox produces bright, colorful flowers that make your garden look lively and fun. They bloom in the summer and attract butterflies, which help your other plants grow and stay healthy. Phlox can also be successfully grown in a container, making it a versatile option for patios or small spaces, as long as it has good drainage and sunlight.

Note: Some types of phlox can spread quickly, so regularly trim them to keep them from taking over.
