[Common Name] Perennial Phlox [Botanical Name] Phlox paniculata [Edible Warning] It is only this perennial phlox, not the annual, or the low-growing (creeping) phlox that is edible. [Edible Tip] 
These flowers have a slightly spicy taste. Great added to fruit salads and a colourful addition to any floral salad. As the flowers are small and colourful they are superb when crystallised and added as decoration to cakes or desserts.
