· also called garden phlox, summer phlox, fall phlox
Honeybees are drawn to garden phlox for its plentiful sweet nectar, especially during the late summer bloom period from July to September, contributing to a minor honey flow in suitable regions. Pollen is available but secondary to nectar rewards. Prone to powdery mildew, so plant in full sun with good air circulation; may require deer protection in some areas.
