Purple flowers with a white eye. Perfectly suited for containers, courtyard gardens, and the middle of the border, the FLAME Series is a group of naturally dwarf, compact cultivars. All members of this series offer good disease resistance, a bushy habit, and large, fragrant flowers in midsummer. What more could one ask for in a Phlox?

Phlox is unequaled for its showy blooms over a long period in summer. Though it is one of the most popular perennials available, it does require some maintenance to sustain its health and vigor.

Phlox grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It will thrive with fertilizing every other month and consistent 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.
