White is one of the most requested phlox colors, and it brightens the midsummer border and glows in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark green leaves resist powdery mildew even in hot, humid weather. At 28 to 30 inches, it fits the middle of the border and pairs well with other white flowers in a moonlight garden. It reblooms, and the fragrant flowers draw butterflies and bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell-defined, dome-shaped panicles are made of flat, five-petaled flowers about 1 inch across in pure white. The panicles top sturdy, upright stems of even height. Leaves are lance-shaped, dark green and arranged in pairs along the stems. The plant forms a tidy, upright clump about 28 to 30 inches tall and 20 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom crisp white heads cap every stem above dark green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhlox enjoys sun like lavender but wants richer soil and more regular water, so plant it in an adjacent cottage border, where its white flowers pick up as the first lavender bloom winds down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to fertile soil kept evenly moist; full sun and good air flow give the most flowers and the healthiest leaves.
