Summary[edit]

Description

Common name: Tall Phlox, Fall Phlox, Garden Phlox, Perennial Phlox

Botanical name: Phlox paniculata - [ (floks) meaning flame, blaze; (pan-ick-yoo-LAY-tuh) or (pan-ick-yoo-LAH-tuh) referring to the flower clusters (panicles) ] Cultivar: Laura Family: Polemoniaceae (phlox, or jacob's ladder family) - [ (po-le-MOH-nee-uh-see-ay) named after one of its genera Polemonium ]

Origin: North America

The Polemoniaceae (jacob's ladder family or phlox family) comprises 18-25 genera with between 270-400 species of mostly annual plants, native to the Northern Hemisphere and also South America, with the center of diversity in western North America, especially in California. Only one genus (Polemonium) is found in Europe, and two (Phlox and Polemonium) in Asia, where they are confined to cool temperate to arctic regions; both genera also occur more widely in North America, suggesting relatively recent colonization of the Old World from North America.

Members of the family are not distinguished by any particular morphological feature. Their flowers have five sepals, five petals fused, five stamens that alternate with the lobes of the corolla, and an ovary made up of three fused carpels.
