#ProPlantTips for Care:
Phlox are hardy down to growing zone 3 and thrive up to zone 8 heat. Doing great in full sun in cool zones but appreciating partial shade and afternoon protection in hotter climates. These herbaceous perennials appreciate good Air Circulation and well-drained soil. 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.
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. But, if you live in Deer Country, be sure to use Deer Repellent during planting, guided by the instructions on the label.
- Full Sun & Part Shade
- Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Mulched Beds
- Prune to Ground In Late Fall
- Fairly Deer Resistant
Luminary™ Backlight Tall Garden Phlox will light up your garden beds and borders with its luminescent white blooms and the swarms of pollinators they'll attract! Order yours today at Naturehills.com!
