Tall Garden Phlox

Phlox plants are beloved North American perennials known for their flame-like blooms and sweet fragrance. Their name comes from the Greek word for “flame,” and it’s easy to see why! These cheerful flowers burst into vibrant color from spring through fall, drawing in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with their nectar-rich blossoms.

  • There are two main types of Phlox:
    Tall Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata): Upright perennials that make showy, fragrant displays in borders and pollinator gardens. Ideal for borders, cutting gardens, and cottage-style designs.
  • Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata): Groundcover types that create dense, flowering mats perfect for slopes, edging, and rock gardens. Great for low-maintenance groundcover, erosion control, and spring color on slopes or along pathways.

Both are deer-resistant, easy to grow, and hardy in USDA Zones 2–9, thriving in full sun to partial shade.

Using Phlox in Your Gardenphlox care

Phlox adds charm and lasting color to nearly every garden space.

Easy Care for Phlox

Phlox is a low-maintenance perennial that rewards you with season after season of color.

  • Sun & Soil: Plant in well-drained, enriched soil with full to partial sun. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade helps.
  • Water & Mulch: Keep evenly moist and add a layer of arborist mulch to retain moisture.
  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced flowering fertilizer each spring.
  • Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Shear Creeping Phlox after flowering to maintain shape.
  • Dividing: Divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and improve air circulation.

Phlox pairs beautifully with Coreopsis, Penstemon, Rudbeckia, Salvia, and Sedum for nonstop color and pollinator appeal.

FAQ's for Buying Phlox Online

What are the different types of Phlox plants available at Nature Hills Nursery?

Nature Hills offers two main types of Phlox: upright Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata) known for tall, fragrant blooms, and low-growing Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata), ideal as groundcover. Both types come in a variety of vivid colors and are great for pollinators and decorative landscaping.

How do I care for Phlox to keep it blooming all season?

Phlox thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to part shade, especially afternoon shade in hotter climates. Regular watering, spring fertilization, and deadheading faded blooms help promote reblooming and maintain healthy plants.

Is Phlox deer-resistant and suitable for pollinator gardens?

Yes, Phlox is generally deer-resistant and its nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making it a top choice for pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Where should I plant Phlox in my garden for the best results?

Tall Garden Phlox is perfect for mid to back border placement, cut flower gardens, and cottage-style beds, while Creeping Phlox is excellent for slopes, erosion control, edging, rock gardens, and as a flowering groundcover.

Can Phlox be grown in containers or used for groundcover?

Absolutely! Compact varieties of Creeping Phlox work well in planters and as groundcover, forming dense mats of color in spring, while upright Phlox adds vertical interest in large containers or mixed plantings.
