I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, its nectar-rich blossoms attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Thriving in full sun, it prefers humusy, well-drained soil and benefits from good air circulation. Ideal for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.

Planting: Plant as soon as the soil is workable in spring. Soak roots in lukewarm water for 1–2 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, and set the crown 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface.
Spacing: Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily) is best. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Amend with compost if needed to improve structure and drainage.
Watering: Water deeply after planting. Keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) during establishment. Once mature, phlox is moderately drought-tolerant.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Good air circulation helps prevent powdery mildew, especially in humid regions.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Cut stems back by one-third after flowering to maintain shape.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in early spring or fall to rejuvenate growth.
Pest & Disease: Watch for powdery mildew and spider mites. Space plants well and avoid overhead watering to reduce risk.
