PHLOX DECUSSATA 
Phloxes are always an important feature of old-fashioned gardens, and 
they’re equally indispensable now. No other perennial is quite so valuable 
for mid-sumpier flower masses, and the plants thrive equally in. full sun or 
half shade. They like rich soil. If possible, plant at least a half a dozen of 
one sort, for massing is essential to get the finest effect. Most of them, are 
pleasingly fragrant.
