Phlox 'Captain Freedom' Garden Phlox

Phlox 'Captain Freedom' Garden Phlox is a tall perennial whose large, fragrant white flower heads bring brightness to a summer planting. The blooms are bright white, creating a distinct focal point within a bed of mixed colors. With an upright habit and a mature height of 40 to 48 inches, this selection gives the garden a vertical floral element during its July through September bloom period.

Arrange this broadleaf phlox behind shorter plants in a layered border, or repeat it through a bed to connect separate areas with white flowers. Its height makes placement an integral part of the design, allowing the flower heads to remain visible among neighboring plants. Space plants 20 to 24 inches apart when planning a group. The blooms are suitable for cutting, extending its usefulness to a garden intended to supply arrangements, and their fragrance adds another reason to plant it within reach.

Plant this bare root selection in sun or partial shade in USDA Zones 4 to 8. Flowering spans summer into early fall, offering a white accent through that transition. Its amplifolia heritage brings together drought tolerance, high mildew resistance, and notably large, fragrant flower heads.
