How to Use White Delight Phlox in the Landscape

It's a versatile, low-growing perennial that flowers in late spring which is an important time for pollinating food crops. If you are growing an Improved Dwarf Meyer Lemon in a pot, or have a fully functional Edible Landscape—include several of them nearby to bring honey bees!

They'll grow well in rocky or sloped areas. Let them soften the edge of a slope planting in front of Sumac and Ash Leaf Spirea.

In a perennial border, run an amiable edging of White Delight Phlox to tie the whole design together. This choice works beautifully in a monochromatic Moon Garden that glows in the evening.

Try balancing the medium texture of this plant with a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. White Delight Phlox has a cool and calming effect in the garden, so use it to tone down more intense, saturated colors.

Because White Delight Phlox tolerates salt, it makes a cherished choice in street plantings. Use them along your front walk to bring a smile to people passing by.

Even after the blooming is done, you'll have a dense mat of dark-green to enjoy. Their narrow, saturated foliage looks very sophisticated all season.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant them where they will receive at least six hours of sun a day. Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are preferred and good drainage is essential.

For the first season, provide a moderate amount of water on a consistent schedule. After their roots are established in the soil, they'll tolerate brief drought, especially if they have mulch over their roots.

It's a good idea to shear this plant back and clean up any dead foliage in early summer, just after it is finished blooming. This produces dense foliage and can encourage some rebloom.

Order White Delight Phlox today for a pretty and cheerful display. You'll adore them!
