Clump Form. Pruning Group 14. "This plant is a deciduous perennial. It is notable for its striking scent and flower panicles. The white flowers are to 3cm across, although this is a lower growing cultivar than many. Grow it near the front of the border. Dead-head to encourage further blooms. It's shape is described as upright. It grows to a height of 0.6m and 0.4m in width. It has oval foliage that is green. It produces flowers during summer/autumn that are saucer-shaped and white in colour. This hardy plant grows to make a clump. It requires a moist and rich soil, preferring full sun, semi-shade, and a position in a border. It is susceptible to and should be protected from leaf spot, eelworms and mildew." from Greenfingers. "Border Phlox, as they are also known, have a flowering season from mid summer into autumn. If deadheading is done regularly, it will extend the blooming period considerably. Usually trouble free, a good feed in spring with the new seasons growth, & again just before blooming will maintain vigour. Keep up a reasonable moisture level during the dryer months. Prune to the ground for winter in mild climates, or leave until new growth begins in colder areas, then cut back to the fresh young foliage. Height around 80-90cm, spread 60-70cm in time. Divide every 3-4 years. Winter dormant." from Cara Cottage Nursery. - "CARA COTTAGE NURSERY has now CLOSED DOWN. " "These border phloxes are subject to two dreaded complaints, but if you start with healthy stock, you need never be bothered by them. Phlox eelworm is a microscopic nematode that causes distortion of stems and leaves. It does not affect the roots, however. Phloxes can be propagated from root cuttings, so that is your answer. The other worry is powdery mildew, a fungus that turns plants grey and prevents them from functioning. You will need to spray young foliage early with a suitable fungicide. Ask at your garden centre." from The Guardian. "Border Phlox is a collective term that usually encompasses varieties originating from two main species - Phlox paniculata and Phlox maculata, Plants from these two genera originate from North America and are very upright and clump forming and flower from July to September. They are very hardy and reliably perennial and reach an average 36” in height [some shorter ones are being introduced] This determines them from other members of the Phlox family - the carpeting prostrate and alpine members such as subulata and douglassii, as well as the varying annual types which have no place here. The flowers appear in structured globular or rounded heads atop leafy stems. They generally have a sweet fragrance, especially the paler pink shades, the blues and the whites. They make exemplary cut flowers as well as lasting a long time in the garden border, and here they can be enjoyed from July to September. They are very attractive to butterflies and moths. They seldom need staking and are generally easy to grow. Phlox paniculata is the more popular and widely represented family yet the maculata strains have an additional merit of good mildew resistance. Their flowers are slightly more informal and in looser panicles. They are also slightly earlier into bloom. Phlox - colour palette Summery shades of lilac, lavender, almost blue, whites, purples, most shades of pink to deeper tones of ruby and near red, as well as vermillion and salmon. Some are bi-coloured and a number have a deeper eye. There are now one or two striped and marbled cultivars coming onto the market that you will either love or hate. Uses and plant association Plants for the mixed border where they look their best in clumps of 3 or more. Phlox are ideal plants for the cutting garden; and in years gone by there was also a penchant for planting a bed or border especially with Phlox. Cultural requirements Prefer a moderately moist and fertile garden soil to show their best, though not so picky as to fail in anything other than the poorest of soils. A generous application of peat, rotted farmyard manure, or leafmould reaps rich dividends. As these are very long lived plants adequate preparation is a good investment. They will thrive in the full sun aspect as well as part shade or woodland margin. In Spring topdress with a general purpose fertilizer or bonemeal. Mildew can be a problem with some older cultivars, although largely cosmetic, it can be controlled by an appropriate fungicide. Many of the newer varieties have good mildew resistance. Cut the plants back completely in October, to prevent the carry-over of any disease. Phlox certainly can be grown successfully in containers but their habit doesn't do them their best justice in pots. Some of the dwarfing varieties like Red Riding Hood might be more suitable for this application. Phlox - varieties As plant breeders turn their attentions to these popular garden Plants, then the list of available varieties lengthens. Great favourites here too, I endeavour to offer the largest range of Phlox possible. It includes a lot of beautiful older ones but also the best newer novelties which have added strength, longevity of flower, mildew resistance, and often a more compact habit.

"Can be grown amongst roses and shrubs where there isn't too much competition. Plant with Campanulas, Heleniums, Penstemons, Achillea, Agapanthus and Echinacea. They also benefit from having shorter, bushier plants at their front, as the stems can become bare and leggy later in the summer. Lower Campanulas, Alchemilla mollis, Viola's and Sedums fit this purpose well." from Gold Label Perennials. |
