„The flowers, 1.5-2.5cm in diameter, often fragrant, are white, pink, red, or purple, and borne in summer through fall (autumn). The flowers are grouped in panicles, hence the specific epithet paniculata.“

Main compounds of a dynamic headspace concentrate from violet Phlox flowers were phenylacetaldehyde (20%), benzaldehyde (5%), lilac alcohols (3%), linalool (2%), and 2-phenylethanol (0.4%).

The fragrant volatiles of Phlox paniculata hybrids were collected by dynamic and vacuum headspace analysis. The product of the vacuum process contained mainly 2-phenyl ethanol (12-17%) and linalool (3-9%), together with 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-butanone (1-4%), 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2-butanone (3-7%) and 1-phenyl-2,3-butanediol (0.3-6%). Cinnamic alcohol was present only in the vaccum product. Phenylacetaldehyde (1-2%), benzaldehyde (0.3-5%) and benzyl alcohol (0.2-2%) have been found both in the dynamic headspace and in the vaccum headspace product. Furthermore, lilac alcohols, eugenol methyl ether, isoeugenol methyl ether and germacrene-D are additional volatiles of Phlox flowers.

Scent emission analysis of P.paniculata flowers showed the benzenoids, benzaldehyde (14-91 ng/hr/flower), 2-phenylacetaldehyde (14-61 ng/hr/flower) and methyl eugenol (11-47 ng/hr/flower) as main constituents, together with (E)-β-ocimene (13-28 ng/hr/flower). Other components were linalool, lilac aldehyde A, lilac aldehyde B, 2-phenyl acetonitrile, eugenol and methyl isoeugenol as well as nonanal and decanal.
