Phlox paniculata 
Phlox Paniculata 
For brilliant, bold color effects in mass 
during the late summer and autumn, the 
Hardy Phlox are indispensable. They pro- 
duce dazzling color at a time when there is 
little else to depend on. Next to Irises and 
Peonies, they are the most useful hardy 
plants we have, filling in, as they do, the 
gap between early summer- and the fall- 
blooming plants. They will grow and bloom 
almost anywhere; however, they are gross 
feeders and if given rich soil and plenty 
of moisture, best results can be obtained. 
They should be divided and replanted at 
least every third year. The immense size 
and perfect form of new varieties will be a 
revelation to those who know only the old- 
fashioned kinds.
