A unique new bicolor selection with bright fuchsia flowers edged in chartreuse. Large flower panicles are borne atop relatively short, somewhat mildew resistant plants from mid through late summer.
The new hybrids from this breeder are ideal for cut flower producers because the flower petals are drop resistant, meaning they hold their petals until the entire cluster is spent.

Phlox paniculata is an erectΒ herbaceous perennial that may grow 2Β to 4Β feet tall and is clump-forming. Flowers come in various colors and bloomΒ mid-summerΒ to mid-fall. ItΒ mixes well with other perennials, attractsΒ hummingbirds, and is a good selection forΒ a bird garden. ThisΒ popular flowerΒ has escaped gardens and naturalized into areas beyond its original native range.
Phlox paniculataΒ prefers sun to partial shade and moist, fertile, and well-drained soils. Good air circulation (adequate spacing and thinning of stems as needed) will help combat powdery mildew. Overhead watering should be avoided. Phlox needs to be watered in dry summers andΒ mulched toΒ keep the root zone cool. Removing faded flower panicles willΒ prolong bloomingΒ and prevent self-seeding as cultivarsΒ do not come true from seed.
In winter, plants should be cut to the ground and removed from the garden in order toΒ minimize possible powdery mildew infection for the followingΒ season. This plant has numerous pest and disease problems and is not always an easy plantΒ to grow well. Phlox bugs, powdery mildew, and root rot can be serious problems. Spider mites can also be a problem, particularly in hot, dry conditions. Taller stems may need staking.
