Phlox paniculata 'Texas Pink'
Phlox paniculata, commonly known as garden phlox, is native from New York to Iowa and extends south to Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. It has spread from gardens and become established in areas outside its original native range.
Texas Pink Garden Phlox produces large rounded clusters of lightly fragrant purplish-pink flowers on sturdy purplish-red stems. The blooming period typically starts in early summer and lasts for several weeks and potentially longer if the flowers are deadheaded. Texas Pink Phlox is a mildew-resistant, prolific blooming variety of our native Phlox paniculata. For optimal results, it is recommended that an utterly sunny location with well-drained soil be provided. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and giant bees.
Regular deadheading can help maintain a clean appearance and prolong the blooming season. To achieve the best results with Garden or Summer Phlox, it is advisable to provide good air circulation, moderately rich soil, and average moisture in full sun.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
