Growing Tips
Self-cleaning, deadheading not necessary. This is not necessarily true of all Phlox.
Will do best in well-drained soil.
Rabbits may find Phlox very tasty.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

| All seven varieties of this series have an upright, willowy form reminiscent of wildflowers. Although diminutive in stature, the blooms are large, often up to one inch across. This plant is as tough as it is beautiful, and can really take the heat and humidity. It can also handle frost, so it will be one of the last blooms to fade in your garden. | ||
