Phlox paniculata

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Phlox paniculata (garden or summer phlox)? Creeping or moss phlox, woodland phlox, annual phlox, spotted phlox and hybrid phlox such as Phlox × arendsii are different plants. If the label is missing or unclear, choose I'm not sure.

Important precautions

A poison-control list rates phlox as non-toxic for people, though any plant can cause a reaction if eaten. We found no pet rating for this species, so do not assume it is safe for pets; if a pet eats it, contact your vet.
