DON'T FORGET TO PHLOX

Obviously Isabella doesn't care about phloxing...she hangs out in the studio on hot summer days in her/my chair.

Phlox is an old fashioned perennial that takes no effort except a bit of staking as it grows to 7' in height with heads about 1' across.
I favour white in the summer garden...so nice and cooling.
I just use old pantyhose for easy & stretchy plant ties to keep them from flopping over.

The flower heads give off a slight honey aroma. They're good cut flowers and really fill in well.
