Phlox Patriotic Festival Blend

Patriotic Festival Blend is a striking mix of tall garden phlox, showcasing rich red, pristine white, and vivid blue blossoms that rise on sturdy stems 24 to 36 inches tall. Blooming profusely throughout the summer, these nectar-rich clusters exude a sweet fragrance that draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators to your garden. Perfect for fresh summer bouquets, their vibrant colors and lush clusters are a charming addition indoors as well.

The Phlox paniculata varieties in Patriotic Festival Blend, commonly called garden phlox or tall phlox, are hardy perennials ideal for Zones 4-8. Their vibrant blooms add timeless elegance to cottage gardens, perennial beds, and borders. These showy flowers also complement butterfly and cutting gardens, offering both beauty and ecological benefits.

Patriotic Festival Blend thrives in sunny to partially sunny locations with fertile, organically rich soil that drains well while retaining moisture. Though these phlox are moderately drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during dry spells and a summer mulch help maintain root moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize in spring to encourage robust growth and ensure good air circulation to prevent disease. Deadheading spent blooms prolongs the flowering season, and taller stems may require staking for additional support. Deer resistant and low maintenance, these phlox are a delight in any garden.

Plant Patriotic Festival Blend phlox roots in spring, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart and planting them 1½ to 2 inches deep.
