Coral Garden Phlox from the Flame® Collection - Phlox Paniculata Plant - 1 gallon pot

The color of a pretty pink sky at twilight, the fragrant clusters sizzle with bright coral pink flowers with violet eyes. These smaller-statured Garden Phlox from the Flame Series offer good disease resistance, a bushy, compact habit and large fragrant flowers in midsummer. Lovely for the middle of the border and containers. Large blossoms in a range of colors, Garden Phlox are known as the 'backbone' of the perennial border.

Phlox paniculata provide unsurpassed flowering in summer, clear crisp colors and fragrant flowers in profusion. Good cut flower, a choice selection for the colder zones. Prefers moist, humus-rich soil. Phlox can be divided every 3-5 years in spring or fall. In spring, just as new growth appears, dig up the plant and divide clump with a sharp knife or spade into at least 2 or 3 shoots and a portion of the root system. Plants divided in fall should be mulched with a 4-6 layer of straw or pine needles to prevent heaving. Remove mulch in early spring. Cut back by 1/2 in late spring/early summer to encourage more compact plants. Shear off spent blooms just above foliage.
