Phlox paniculata 'John Fanick'
Phlox paniculata, known affectionately as garden phlox, is a lovely native plant ranging from New York to Iowa and all the way down to Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. This cheerful flower has found a way to thrive beyond its original garden homes and has become a delightful addition to many other areas.
'John Fanick' is a cultivar that typically grows to 2-3' tall on stiff stems clad with narrow, opposite, pointed, elliptic, deep green leaves (to 4" long). Tubular pale pink flowers (to 1/2” diameter) with darker pink throats are densely packed into large terminal clusters (to 6"). Butterflies love the flowers. 'John Fanick' was discovered growing in a patch of grass in San Antonio, Texas.
Garden phlox is a staple of the perennial border. Mixes well with other perennials and provides long summer bloom. Regardless of flower color, garden phlox is attractive to hummingbirds and is a good selection for inclusion in a bird garden.

Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
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.
