Phlox 'Party Girl'

Phlox paniculata
Beautiful garden phlox without a hint of powdery mildew is the holy grail of phlox variety breeding. We seem to be as close as we can get to this prize, for it is rated "exceptionally clean" in multiyear trials. Besides the pristine foliage, the ample blush pink flower clusters swirling open from rosy buds are alive with the many species of butterflies, including yellow and black Swallowtails, plus bees and hummingbirds. Patented.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Garden phlox is an essential pollinator garden summer bloomer that attracts butterflies by the score. It is great for borders and edging in wildflower and perennial gardens in humus-rich soil. Apply mulch, keeping away from the crowns to conserve water and keep the soil cool, and water during dry periods to lessen the chance of mildew. Long-blooming by nature, deadheading regularly will encourage further bloom. Every few years, divide in spring or in autumn south of zone 6.
Final Spacing:
1.5-2.5'

Watering Details:

Fertilizer:

Diseases & Pests:
Plants may be susceptible to mildew when the weather is damp and warm or when they are stressed by drought. Phlox 'Party Girl' is a highly resistant cultivar, but best practices should still be followed. Plant in locations that have good air circulation and thin out stems to increase air circulation. Remove and discard any diseased stems in the fall.
