Backlight Phlox is a native compact perennial with a bushy habit and sturdy stems covered with dark green lance-shaped foliage.  Well formed panicles of large fragrant clear white flowers bloom from mid to late summer.  Best flowering in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.  The Luminary series has improved disease resistance.

Phlox paniculata provides nectar to butterflies, skippers, Sphinx and Hummingbird moths, and hummingbirds.
