Tall Garden Phlox
The brightly colored flowers of Tall Garden Phlox are a staple item for the perennial garden. Butterflies and hummingbirds adore their sweetly fragrant blossoms. A range of short to tall varieties is offered here. Tall Garden Phlox CULTURE: Tall Garden Phlox prefers a dry start after potting up, but once the shoots begin to appear it is very important to keep plants consistently moist and well-fertilized. Overhead watering should be avoided and the plants should be well-spaced to allow for good air circulation. This will help to prevent powdery mildew and other disease issues.

Like most other Phlox, this one prefers full sun. However, it prefers gritty, slightly alkaline soil instead of the fertile, moist soil favored by other species. Creeping Phlox GROWING TIPS • • • • • Use a 7 or 8 inch Mum Pan or Azalea Pot. Do not use a standard one gallon container. Wider pots allow more root/soil contact. Water thoroughly after potting for good root/soil contact. Water lightly until new growth appears. Grow plants either in a cool greenhouse (above freezing) with good light levels and air circulation or pot plants about April 1 and place directly outside under white, breathable row cover. Water plants through fabric as needed. Remove fabric when flower buds appear. It may be necessary to cover plants again in the event of a late, hard frost.
