PHLOX Decussata 
For a brilliant, bold color effect in mass dur- 
ing the late summer and autumn, the Hardy 
Phlox (decussata types) are indispensable. 
Without them it would be difficult to maintain 
the display of color during July and August 
when sometimes there is little else in bloom in 
the perennial border. The low-growing or trail- 
ing subulata and certain species of Phlox bloom- 
ing in April, May and June may be considered 
a preview to the taller and more showy Phlox 
to come in later summer. 
Simple of culture, they require only a fairly 
rich soil and water. The removal of flower-heads 
after blooms are faded will encourage new flow- 
ers from side shoots to lengthen the blooming 
period.
