Phlox paniculata ‘White Admiral’
 
Polemoniaceae
Hardy Perennial
Sun to part shade
Ht. 90cm
1L recycled plastic pot
 
Phlox are an amazing addition to any cut flower garden - a lush and vigorous easy to grow perennial with lance shaped leaves and a clump forming habit.  They produce tall stems of white sweetly scented flowers in summer. Prefer full sun to part shade in moist well drained soil. Does well with division every few years to maintain vigour and a good feeding improves performance and keeps leaves green.
 
Cut Flower Notes

One of my favorite cut flowers due to the scent that is strong but not overwhelming and so so good.  They can be cut back in spring to encourage more flowering stems, and cut deeply to encourage repeat flowering in autumn. Cut in the cool of the day, when at least a couple of blooms are open and hydrate well.
