They are perfectly suited to be planted in pots. Feature a few planters on your front porch for the whole neighborhood to admire!
Blue Paradise is space-saving enough for use in containers as upright thrillers and focal points in large urns by your sun-drenched front entry, or around a backyard patio garden!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant herbaceous perennial Garden Phlox in full sun and good air circulation - 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. But, if you live in Deer Country, be sure to use Deer Repellent during planting, guided by the instructions on the label.
- Full Sun Blooms
- Adaptive to a Variety of Conditions

Plant a Blue Paradise in your yard this summer and you'll soon understand why "paradise" is a part of this exceptional perennial's name! Order yours today at Nature Hills today!
