| Tall Garden Phlox is a mainstay in the midsummer sun garden, and this hybrid type will extend the color of Phlox by blooming even earlier, starting in early summer. The dark green, glossy foliage is mildew and disease-resistant, an improvement on older varieties of Phlox that don't hold up as well in the heat and humidity of summer. Plant these in an area with good air circulation and sunshine for the best performance. With a stoloniferous growth habit, this Phlox will spread slowly over the years. " Opening Act Blush" boasts a long season of color and early blooming. Lovely light lavender-pink flowers typically appear from early summer well into midsummer, with some sporadic rebloom into early fall. These perennials are a favorite of gardeners worldwide and a staple of North American native gardens. Be sure to locate these plants in full sun for the best flowering performance and to help avoid powdery mildew concerns—a favorite of pollinators. |
