Phlox paniculata – Gzhel Russian Lady Garden Phlox
SKU: n/a.$16.99
From the perennial fields of Holland comes the Russian-created singular beauty Gzel Phlox, Phlox paniculata, featuring bright blue buds that open to a unique coloring: half of each petal is blue, the other half white. The fragrant flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies and make excellent cut flowers. It grows 32″ tall. A member of the outstanding “Russian Lady” series of garden Phlox, these Phlox have larger flower clusters with extended bloom times and tough, more disease-resistant foliage than many other garden Phlox. It prefers full sun but performs beautifully in part sun too. It is named after the traditional Russian ceramics and porcelain craft.
Tall Phlox makes a charming addition to cottage and perennial gardens. Use in cutting gardens, butterfly and pollinator gardens, meadows, and naturalized gardens.
Plant in full sun to part shade. Add organic matter to the soil. The plant benefits from fertilizer. Although tolerant of drought, it prefers moist soil throughout the season. For the best bloom, keep the soil consistently moist when the plant is setting buds and flowering. If you want an extra big show, use liquid fertilizers just before the plant begins to show flower buds around early summer.
