Summer Phlox 'Opening Act Romance' 1 Gallon

Phlox paniculata
Lavender pink flowers. Compact variety, early bloomer, mildew resistant. Summer Phlox, a.k.a. Garden Phlox, is the tallest and most sun tolerant of all Phlox species, producing huge, 4-6" clusters (panicles) of flowers in shades of pink, red, purple, blue, white, and striped for summer. It is often planted in front to mid, sunny to shady borders with other pollinator attractants and ground covers. Blooms in mid-summer and attracts butterflies. This plant has good resistance to powdery mildew. Removing faded flowers will encourage fresh buds and blooms. Plant in well-drained, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in fall when necessary.
