Overview
Phlox paniculata is a tall, herbaceous perennial which carries terminal panicles of up to 60 simple open faced flowers on each stem from summer through to autumn.
Colours range through violet, red, salmon and white and they are a staple of all good border plantings. Pretty and colourful, they bring a happy fill to mixed borders and also cut quite well too.
Perfect for informal and cottage style gardens.
Soil: Medium, fertile, well-drained soils with added organic matter.
Maintenance: Water well and fertilise in spring with a complete fertiliser.
Cut back dead flower stems at season's end. Watch for snails and caterpillars
Diseases: Snails and caterpillars
Other Species: Numerous, each having specific flower colour.
The Flame series of hybrids are relatively compact and bushy, providing very rich colours, a deeper same colour eye and very good mildew resistance.
Flame Violet, Flame Pink and Flame Coral are worth looking out for.
Phlox Light Pink Flame 'Bareleven' is an outstanding dwarf variety that is compact, multi stemmed and produces sweetly scented soft pink flowers with rose centres.
Comments: The name phlox means flame.
