perennial phlox · Phlox paniculata
Also known as: autumn phlox; cross-leaved phlox; fall phlox; summer perennial phlox; summer phlox; tall garden phlox
Garden phlox thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with consistent moisture. It requires full to partial sun exposure for optimal growth. A special care point for garden phlox includes deadheading spent flowers to promote further blooming and prevent self-seeding. Additionally, providing good air circulation is key to prevent powdery mildew, which garden phlox is prone to, especially in humid conditions.
