Phlox (Hybrid Phlox)
Color Name: Fashionably Early Princess
Fashionably Early Princess blooms 2-3 weeks earlier than the typical Tall Garden Phlox. Fashionably Early Princess is the very first of the series to bloom. This is a taller variety of Hybrid Phlox that will work best for the middle to back of the border. In addition to being early blooming, it boasts a long season of color. Light fuchsia pink flowers and a darker pink eye appear well into midsummer with some rebloom in fall. Broad, thick, glossy green foliage stays beautiful all season. Each member of the Fashionably Early series has exceptional mildew resistance.
These perennials are a favorite of gardeners around the world 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.
Growing Tips: Phlox is unequaled for its showy blooms over a long period in summer. Though it is one of the most popular perennials available, it does require some maintenance to sustain its health and vigor.
Phlox grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It will thrive with bi-monthly fertilizing and consistent moisture levels. Overhead watering should be avoided since some varieties of phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew. This can be avoided or diminished by providing ample air circulation around the plants and by thinning them out periodically. Deadheading will prolong bloom time and prevent self-seeding.
