'Nicky' garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Nicky') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant blooms open from early to late summer. They draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
