Hi

This is a photo of my neighbour’s plant who cannot remember what it is!

It produces white flowers. Can anyone here ID it? I’m really hoping to get one for my garden! It’s the plant behind the canes. It just gone into flower.

    It’s the plant between the Hollyhocks and canes. :)

    Could be phlox ? Or maybe l'm looking at the wrong thing 😊

    It could be Phlox, but I think it also could be an Aster called Michaelmas Daisy - mauve/purple flowers in late summer, bees and butterflies love it.  Prune early next spring down to a few inches.

    I don't know Phlox, but I do know that it isn't Michaelmas Daisy.

    Definitely phlox. I have a similar one, "Fujiyama" (I think mine gets a bit taller but that could be because it doesn't get sun all day long).
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
