Why Gardeners Love Growing Phlox
Phlox combines ease of care with rich, dependable color. Its blossoms form soft, cloud-like clusters that blanket garden beds, border edges, and cottage-style landscapes. Available in soothing pastels or vivid summer brights, Phlox brings color harmony to any planting design. TN Nursery provides vigorous Phlox varieties with strong stems, mildew resistance, and consistent blooming power-ideal for gardeners seeking high-impact flowers without complicated care routines.
The Landscape Benefits of Planting Phlox
Phlox is more than just beautiful-it's one of the best perennials for supporting pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds herd to its nectar-rich flowers throughout the warm season. Phlox fills gaps in garden beds, softens edges around pathways, and blends seamlessly with ferns, hostas, coneflowers, and ornamental grasses. Upright varieties provide vertical interest, while creeping forms create lush carpets across slopes or rock gardens. With excellent cold hardiness and easy adaptability, Phlox returns year after year with even fuller displays.
