Summer Phlox is very popular for its midsummer display in the sunny border. This selection produces large, hot coral-pink flower clusters remaining a beautiful shade of light coral-pink as they mature. Attractive to butterflies. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Easy to grow and mildew resistant although Summer Phlox always benefit from a location that provides good air circulation and consistent soil moisture. Drought tolerant. Excellent as a cut flower, for containers or in the border. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds to form. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
