Starfire Garden Phlox is a native perennial with a bushy habit and stiff stems covered with lance-shaped foliage that emerges with maroon tinting but matures to dark green.  Dense pyramidal panicles of fragrant bright deep red flowers bloom from mid summer into fall.  Best flowering in full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soils.

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