Phlox maculata, commonly called meadow phlox,[1] as well as wild sweet William[2] and marsh phlox,[3][a] is a species of flowering plant in the family Polemoniaceae, native the eastern United States and introduced to eastern Canada.[2] It is a perennial.[4]
Growing to 2–3 ft (61–91 cm), this erect, clump-forming herbaceous perennial produces clusters of fragrant, deep pink flowers in summer. The stiff stems are spotted red, hence the Latin specific epithet maculata. It prefers damp, well-drained soil in full sun. It is less prone to powdery mildew than the related Phlox paniculata.[5]
