Phlox paniculata ‘Blue Boy’
Summer Phlox |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.415.400
The large, Hydrangea-like flower clusters of Summer Phlox create a spectacular show in the summer border. Sweetly fragrant as well, the flowers waft their scent over quite a distance. This selection has mauve-blue heads, closer to true blue than most others. All varieties of Summer Phlox are superb for cutting, and may even attract passing butterflies and hummingbirds. Remove faded flowers to encourage repeat blooming. Be on the lookout for powdery mildew, beginning in early summer. Regular deep waterings will do a lot to help prevent this disease problem.
