Phlox (Phloxes)
The Phlox genus offers vibrant blooms that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These plants provide nectar and pollen, supporting UK wildlife throughout the growing season. Their dense growth habit also shelters small insects, creating a balanced garden ecosystem.
Most Phlox varieties thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil. They suit borders, rockeries, and containers, adding colour from spring to autumn. Choose native or naturalised species to benefit local biodiversity. Regular deadheading prolongs flowering, ensuring a lasting food source for pollinators.
