The summer perennial garden would not be complete without the tall Phlox filling your garden with large clusters of fragrant flowers. The tall Phlox will grow to 2 to 3 feet tall and just as wide in a large clump with dense foliage that is dark green in color and narrow pointed. The flowers have five-petals and are flat from side to side about one inch wide. The flower always has two shades in the petals with the center either darker or lighter in color. The center of the flower has a noticeable hole in it that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds while in bloom. The flowers begin to form in august and last well into September. The colors are shades of pink, red, salmon, purple, blue, mauve, white and many bi-colors. When you plant in your garden be sure to select a sunny location in the garden and keep the plants out of gardens that have a sprinkler system. Tall Phlox will do best is a well-ventilated area so give them room to allow the air to circulate during the summer. If the plant is in a cramp area or gardens that get watered often the foliage will quickly develop Powdery Mildew disease and fall apart quickly. The back of perennial borders or a windy location is best. When planting be sure to add soil conditioners such as peat moss, animal manure and compost. Tall Phlox loves to be fertilized monthly with a granular fertilizer or chicken manure. The best soil is one that is well drained and never holds water during the spring. You can divide in the spring when the plant is about one inch tall by splitting the plant into small clumps. Plant clumps 2 feet apart in mass plantings, mixed borders, cottage gardens or in your cut flower garden.
