Description
FlameĀ® Light Blue phlox is a dwarf variety with deep blue flowers that open to blue and white pinwheel striped blooms. This garden phlox is favored for its resistance to powdery mildew, a disease that plagues other common phlox varieties. Fragrant flowers bloom in mid summer in clusters on top of sturdy stems, attracting butterflies by the hundreds. Hummingbirds and other pollinators flock to the flowers, as well. Plant FlameĀ® Light Blue in perennial gardens, landscape beds, and containers for long-lasting, easy-care color. Itās a compact grower, and an excellent choice for small space gardens. Grow in moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Deadhead to encourage continued blooming. Somewhat deer resistant and pretty as a cut flower.
Garden Phlox, also called Tall Phlox (or just Phlox), is a longtime favorite perennial grown in gardens throughout the country. A tall plant for the back of the border, it's exceptionally fragrant and attractive to pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds. Blooming in mid summer, Phlox flowers are long lasting and form on exceptionally strong stems - which makes them great for cutting and placing in a vase, as well as a reliable choice for weather-prone beds. A North American native, many modern varieties of phlox have been bred to resist powdery mildew. With that detail out of the way, they've claimed their status as one of the most long-lived color makers in today's garden.

Love, Love, Love My Phlox
"I absolutely love my phlox. They are so beautiful and the smell is amazing. I'm actually figuring out where we can plant a lot at my parents' house"
Recovered from late delivery
"I couldn't see any green on this plant upon arrival. I watered it and watched it until a small green leaf arrived many days later. It took a lot longer before I felt it would survive. I planted it in the flower bed and it has taken off, but, as yet, it hasn't shown any flower buds because it is too early in the season."
4 plants arrived okay; 1 plant with dry roots loose in box
"I'm sure the 4 good plants that I received will grow to be good, healthy blooming plants. In fact, they have already shot up a couple inches in the 4 days since I've received and transferred and watered them. However, one of the plants was totally loose in the box, having apparently separated from container during shipping. The roots of this one plant were thus totally dry. This may be related to the fact that the plants were delivered a full day after they were scheduled to be delivered. I'm guessing the delay was due to the COVID-19 issues of the time (April 2020). This may be the fault of the carrier and not the fault of American Meadows. I have had many orders from American Meadows that I have been very happy with. This was the first time I was not entirely happy."
Great performers
"I bought nine of these beauties this past spring. All of them grew up and bloomed this first summer with no hassle. Lovely bursts of blue in late summer that lasted for a couple of months. They received many compliments from my neighbors. Highly recommend."
Blue Phlox
"Great size, best blue, not fussy"
Pastel Blue
"This is a lovely pastel blue. . It has grown very well in the garden this summer. . No pest or dieseases even though it has been a very warm, humid summer in mid Mo."
