Perennial Phlox - A friend came to my garden one day and asked, "Is that a weed?" I said no, but I actually wasn't sure... A work colleague had given me a carload of perennial plants one Autumn from her garden. I was delighted, brought them home & planted them in 'holding' areas until I could figure out what they were. The phlox is one of the plants. I love this type of phlox! Its tall, pretty, pink, scented, makes good cut flowers, and it's no fuss! I'll be dividing it in Spring to make more.
Time to divide plants: March to April.
Flowering period: July to October. Height: 120cm (approx 4 ft).
I love this Phlox. I haven't tried it in Florida. It probably wouldn't work well here, but I will have to research it.
ReplyDeleteMY PHLOX ARE THE PRETTIEST THING IN MY FLOWER GARDENS WHEN THEY ARE IN BLOOM. THEY MAKE THE BEST BORDERS. JUST WISH THEY BLOOMED LONGER. LOOKS VERY PRETTY....MUCH PRETTIER THAN A WEED!
