Get ready to do a double take when the most gorgeous salmon-orange panicles soar above a tidy mound of lance-shaped green leaves and vigorous stems!

The perfect landing pads for hungry bees, butterflies, and Hummingbirds, the tall sturdy stems won't flop and hold up all summer in the garden and in the vase bouquet! Did we mention that these flowers smell sweetly divine?

Hardy and mildew resistant throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 7, this Tall Garden Phlox can reach up to 2-3 feet when in bloom and spread about the same! Talk about Orange Perfection!

Planting and Application:

The fragrant, 1-inch blooms appear in huge fluffy clusters on tall stems above the foliage and are a beacon to pollinators, especially migrating Monarchs! Add these stately blooms to your Cut Flower and Hummingbird gardens and repeat the theme by including them in large pots and planters on sun-drenched porches and patios! Even balcony gardeners can enjoy some Orange Perfection!

Orange Perfection is ideal for border groupings, in long winding rows, or for mass plantings, since it blooms from summer and fall.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant these herbaceous perennial Phlox in full sun and good air circulation, with at least six hours of sunlight for the most flowers and brightest color. Provide well-drained soil, and be sure to give them supplemental water during their first year and apply water in a prolonged drought. Apply a three-inch layer of mulch around your plant, but make sure to pull it back from the stems.

Deadhead after the flowers fade to encourage a rebloom, then prune your Phlox back in late autumn after frost has reduced these herbaceous perennials down for the year. Prune Tall Phlox right after the blossoms fade and tidy up the mounds in late autumn after frost. While no plant is truly deer resistant, they do not prefer the taste of these plants. Every 3-5 years, it's recommended to divide your clumps to maintain vigor and provide you with extra plants to expand your enjoyment. If you live in high Deer pressure areas, be sure to use Deer Repellent during planting, guided by the instructions on the label.
