Every photo is gorgeous but the pink one is heavenly.

The drumsticks here have multiplied many times over.

Yes they do multiply. I am weeding them out. Never thought they would form such big clumps.

Ditto. I may dig up one area and move them.

OK, I'm getting some drumstick allium next fall. I've tried both smaller and larger alliums than the ones in your photos, somehow have missed those!

I have phlox in the same bed as yarrow, monarda, oriental lilies, and some misc. perennials including daylilies and peonies. I think the upright spires of salvia would look great with phlox, but I haven't gotten any to "stick" in that bed yet. I had a tall veronica there a number of years back, but it was thuggishly prolific, and in an effort to bring them under control I accidentally eradicated them entirely. oops.

Phlox are a necessary cottage garden plant for me, so I'm looking forward to seeing ideas and specific combinations in this thread!

We have a variety of garden phlox, with the main blooming from later July, though August; with a few cultivars still providing bloom in September.

Have a number of other perennials which bloom at the same time as the phlox (e.g. daylilies (earlier), coneflowers, and helenium (later)) and have, in recent years, been adding more shastra daisies.

Last year was not a good garden for our garden phlox (too cool and rainy), but here's pictures of several shasta daisies combinations with garden phlox (Aug 10, 11, and 18, 2017).
