Question: is phlox poisonous to humans?
Answer: Nope nothing wrong at all with the perrenial paniculata, but do not confuse it with the annual creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) this is NOT edible, and this is the only reason it's on my 'caution' list. ... Well all poppies are poisonous, and it is only the seeds from these two species that are edible, nothing else.
