Description

Tall Phlox produces large, fragrant flower spikes in pink, white, and violet from July to September, filling late summer gardens with its characteristic honey‑sweet scent. It attracts butterflies and moths and, as a classic field‑garden perennial, forms impressive clumps over the years.

Care instructions

Plant in humus‑rich, evenly moist soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot. Water from the base to keep foliage dry, as wet leaves promote powdery mildew. In spring, thin dense clumps to leave five to six strong stems, keeping the plant airy and healthy. Deadhead spent flowers to extend blooming.
