Known as the wedding phlox, 'Miss Lingard' is an elegant perennial that grows to 2 to 4 feet that has been grown since late in the 19th century. It produces a fragrant display with clusters of pure white flowers from May through August. The deep green foliage of this phlox has stems of ebony red, requires no staking, and is resistant to disease. Grow it in full sun in medium to moist soil in a border, wildflower garden, or a container where it will attract birds and butterflies.
