Landscape Uses and Maintenance of Tall Phlox Plants

 

This plant makes a great border plant mixed with other perennials. They prefer full sun in a sheltered area of the garden and require moist soil with a fair amount of nutrients. They can tolerate clayey soils however they prefer well-drained organic soils.

 

They are relatively maintenance free. However, they can be difficult to grow particularly in areas that experience hot and dry weather, as they are susceptible to powdery mildew. Given this vulnerability, this species requires good air flow; adequate spacing between plants is important for optimal health and growth.

Small Healthy Plants

My order contained three different types of plants and all were very healthy and boxed was well packed for the safety of the plants. I did choose to pot the bare roots into quart pots and may not put into the ground until next spring. Allowing them to grow bigger and more established.
