An upright grower, summer phlox can reach heights of two to four feet, depending on the variety, with a spread of one to three feet. These plants are beloved for their large, dome-shaped clusters of flowers, which come in a range of colors. The shape and style of the blooms make garden phlox an excellent choice for attracting pollinators to your garden.
While pests are generally minimal, summer phlox can be susceptible to powdery mildew especially during the hot, humid summer months common in our region. To combat this, consider using neem oil or a systemic multi-purpose fungicide, along with dividing the plants every few years to maintain their health.
