Interesting Notes about Garden Phlox:

Garden Phlox has long been popular and important to the ornamental perennial garden. The hybrids currently on the market are adding new colors and solutions to some of the growing challenges. Garden Phlox is happy if growing in full to part sun in well-drained soil, but if the plant is not getting proper air circulation or if there is excessive overhead watering, powdery mildew becomes a blemish to their appearance.
