Phlox Opalescence

The flagship variety of the LUMINARY® Collection and the gold standard of powdery mildew resistance. This was the best variety to display resistance in an extensive mildew trial. Light pink flowers have dark pink eyes and are produced over dark green leaves, the darkest green we've seen on a Phlox paniculata. Tall Garden Phlox are a favorite in the garden but often suffer from powdery mildew in hot, humid conditions. These varieties are selected primarily for their improved resistance over typical Phlox paniculata varieties. With beautiful colors and incredible performance, these are varieties to plant and watch grow with little work required. 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.
