#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tall Garden Phlox are best planted in full sun in cool zones but appreciate 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 arborist mulch around your plant's base, but make sure to pull it back from the stems.
Deadhead 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 & Handles Afternoon Shade
- Moist, Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Deadhead For Rebloom
- Prune Back In Late Autumn
