Notes

'White' phlox (Phlox 'White') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and the plant is also drought tolerant.

Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Nodding onion.
