PHLOX (SUMMER
PHLOX) ZONE 3-9
Phlox paniculata is unequaled for showy blooms over a long period
throughout the summer. Though they are some of the most popular
perennials available, they do require some maintenance to sustain
their health and vigor. Tall Garden Phlox grows best in rich, moist
soil in full sun. It will thrive with bi-monthly fertilizing and
consistant moisture levels. Overhead watering should be avoided since
some varieties of phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew. This can be
avoided or diminished by providing ample air circulation around the
plants and by thinning them out periodically. Deadheading will prolong
bloom time and prevent self-seeding.
