Tall Phlox

Lisa A Wolfinger

My order contained three different types of plants and all were very healthy and boxed was well packed for the safety of the plants. I did choose to pot the bare roots into quart pots and may not put into the ground until next spring. Allowing them to grow bigger and more established.

Cynthia Cook

I am happy to receive my order so quickly. I received lots of healthy bare rooted phlox. I can't wait to watch them grow, return next year, and begin blooming!

About this plant

Garden Phlox Details

Garden Phlox - Phlox Paniculata

Garden Phlox, Phlox paniculata, is a perennial native to the eastern and central United States; however, it persists as an introduced species across the country and other parts of the world. For gardeners, this beauty is a favorite perennial ornamental.

As its common name (Tall phlox) suggests, it has an upright growth habit and reaches heights of around 4 ft. It grows in clusters, with each cluster spanning 3 feet. While each plant produces flowers of one color, plants can range from pink-purple to white in the color of their flowers. These blooms contrast strikingly with the plant's dark and prominent foliage, with each leaf sitting opposite one another along the stalk.

Phlox Paniculata Plant Details

Family: Polemoniaceae

Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8

Light Requirement: Full sun to partial shade

Water Needs: Moderate

Height: 2 to 4 ft

Spread: 2 to 3 ft

Growth Rate: Moderate

Bloom Time: Mid-summer to early autumn

Flower Color: Pink, lavender, white, red, and bicolor combinations

Wildlife Value: Attractive to pollinators and a valuable source of nectar

The flowers of the Garden Phlox are intoxicatingly fragrant and will create a perfume that spreads across the garden. Their flowers are enticing for pollinators and attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies alike to their impressive floral displays.

They start blooming in the summer and continue to bloom through autumn. They have sturdy stems and dense flowers emerging as panicles, which make them fantastic flowers to add to a bouquet for your home or to give to loved ones.

Landscape Uses and Maintenance

Garden Phlox makes a great border plant mixed with other perennials. It prefers full sun in a sheltered area of the garden and requires moist soil with a fair amount of nutrients. Although it can tolerate clayey soils, it prefers well-drained organic soils.

They are relatively maintenance-free. However, they can be difficult to grow, particularly in areas that experience hot and dry weather, as they are susceptible to powdery mildew. Given this vulnerability, this species requires good air flow; adequate spacing between plants is important for optimal health and growth. To help keep their roots cool in the summer, add a layer of mulch, and watch these beauties last through the autumn.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Garden Phlox is Fragrant, attractive to pollinators, and makes ideal cut flowers. Along with its delightful fragrance, this stately perennial's dark green foliage and vibrantly colored flowers will brighten any garden scape.

TALL PHLOX

LOOKS GOOD

The tall phlox arrived on time and after 2 days in a pot it is already growing.

Growing

Soon as our package arrived we were delayed with planting for various reasons, mostly weather. We followed your instructions placing them in a cool area, and for about a week they rested.
I say rested because i prepped the soil areas and planted, watered and two days later…wow here the little guys come popping up and greeting Spring…
Looks like they are on the way and we think they will do just fine in their new garden,

It is planted. I will have to wait and see if it comes up.
