A compact, disease-resistant perennial with fragrant, magenta-purple flowers that have a contrasting white or red eye. It blooms from mid to late summer, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, and is well-suited for borders, containers, or small gardens due to its bushy, upright habit. This phlox typically grows to 16-20 inches tall and prefers full sun to light shade with well-drained soil.
