#ProPlantTips for Care:

These Phlox do great in full sun in cooler USDA growing zones 3-8 and partial sun in warmer growing zones in their range, appreciating some afternoon shade in the heat of summer. Consistent moisture levels are best, but these are tough perennials and tolerate a wide range of conditions. Thriving in well-drained soils that are rich and organically enhanced. Requiring moist soil, these need supplemental watering in the summer heat and drought. A generous layer of arborist mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

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. Remove dead foliage completely to not give fungus and mildew a place to winter over until next year, it leaves a clean winter appearance. Every 3-5 years, it's recommended to divide your clumps to maintain vigor and provide you with extra plants to expand your enjoyment.

The thick leathery leaves have good powdery mildew resistance but for best results, provide a location with good air circulation. Morning sun is helpful in preventing this as well! Coral FLAME™ Phlox will boost any garden with immense color saturation and superb cold tolerance. Deer and rabbits usually leave these alone unless desperate.
