Interesting Facts
Butterflies, bumblebees and hummingbirds may find Phlox irresistible, but its charms aren't restricted to the daytime. Hawkmoths will appear around dusk to drink the nectar. Pale colored blossoms will attract the most of these nighttime visitors.
GROWING TIPS
Prefers humus-rich, moisture yet well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Appreciates a light summer mulch which helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
