'Running with Scissors' phlox (Phlox 'Running with Scissors') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, ground cover, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant blooms. It spreads about 24 inches, so give it room.
