Phlox (Tall Garden Phlox)
Color Name: Sunset Coral
Just like the pink and orange hues that light up the sky during a sunset, Sunset Cora' lights up the landscape. The coral pink flowers have an orange tinge. This variety is very floriferous and will be densely packed with blooms when in peak. Sunset Coral has good mildew resistance. With beautiful colors and incredible performance, plant Sunset Coral and watch it grow, with little work required.
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.
