Phlox

Phlox is a genus of about 65-70 species of annual or perennial flowering plants that flower in early spring. Only a few species can be found in eastern Asia, and they are native primarily to temperate parts of North America. Phlox drumondii Hook is the formal name. The five petals on phlox blooms are arranged in clusters. With purple, red, pink, white, and a hint of fragrance at the branch tips. The phlox garden offers nectar in the summer and fall due to its fragrant flower clusters on tall branches. Expect visits from cloud wasps, European cabbage butterflies, and many swallow species if you plant a phlox.

The phlox plant grows best on soils with a good balance of light and moisture. It consistently and vividly blooms in the middle of the year, giving out a distinct summer scent. Many more species of phlox from large families can be found in most gardens. So from spring until the first frost, you can utilize phlox to create a magnificent blooming landscape. The majority of the species have symmetrical inflorescences and aromatic flowers. There are over 60 different kinds of phlox in addition to the well-known tall shrub phlox (Phlox paniculata), many of which are perfect for your garden to attract butterfly "fairies".
