If you live in the right regions, growing perennials is rarely a bad idea. Plant them once and enjoy them for years. Perennial fall phlox returns reliably year after year. Fall phlox is considered easy to grow and tolerates most types of soil. Once the plant is established, it doesn’t need much water and is considered drought-tolerant. If you lack ground space for planting, fall phlox grows well in containers for a deck or patio garden. With flowers ranging from white to blue to vibrant pink and more, planting a mix of colors of fall phlox is a surefire way to add lots of visual interest to your flower beds until your first frost. 

You’ll bring more pollinators to your yard and garden when fall phlox is in bloom. Its tubular, fragrant flowers are irresistible to butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators. Deer and rabbits aren’t tempted by fall phlox, but its alluring scent is sure to please humans.
