A Butterfly Magnet
Domed clusters of densely packed, lilac pink florets are butterfly magnets! Touted as maintaining outstanding mildew resistance and receiving the most butterfly visits during a 2-year study at Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware. This study at their botanical gardens was done by 15 volunteers of the Pollinator Watch Team who conducted weekly observations over a two-year period of over 94 selections of different Phlox species. Jeana with 539 butterfly visits was by far the most popular for butterflies – especially eastern tiger swallowtails. Studies were done to determine why; however, they found nothing conclusive. Its nectar is no different from other Phlox. Phlox Jeana was discovered by Jeana Prewitt along the Harpeth River in Nashville, Tennessee. Garden Phlox add a punch of color and heady fragrance to any summer border. When most plants are on their summer siesta; Garden Phlox, known as the backbone of the perennial border, provide a range of welcome color. A showstopper in the garden or your favorite vase. Top-Notch Mildew Resistance!

Phlox Plant Care

Prefers moist, humus-rich soil. Phlox can be divided every 3-5 years in spring or fall. In spring, just as new growth appears, dig up the plant and divide clump with a sharp knife or spade into at least 2 or 3 shoots and a portion of the root system. Plants divided in fall should be mulched with a 4-6” layer of straw or pine needles to prevent heaving. Remove mulch in early spring. Cut back by 1/2 in late spring/early summer to encourage more compact plants. Shear off spent blooms just above foliage. To help avoid the possibility of mildew; provide plants with good air circulation (in spring, snip out all but 4-6 stems in a mature clump), avoid drought-like conditions, site plants where they will get sufficient light of six hours or more each day. Should a spray program become necessary, products exist on the market for prevention and control. Removing mature blooms will prevent seeding, if not desired. Clean up spent foliage in spring.
