Product description
Phlox 'Blushing Bride' is a charming, compact annual that produces delightful clusters of soft pink, white, and blush-coloured flowers. With its sweet fragrance and delicate blooms, this variety is a popular choice for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. The compact growth habit makes it ideal for smaller spaces or as a filler among other summer-blooming plants. Phlox 'Blushing Bride' adds a touch of elegance to any garden and is perfect for cutting, bringing its beauty and fragrance indoors.
To grow Phlox 'Blushing Bride', sow seeds indoors from February to April in seed trays or pots, and transplant them outdoors from late May to June, after the risk of frost has passed. For direct sowing, wait until May and sow seeds directly in the garden. These plants prefer a sunny location with well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells. Space plants about 20cm apart to ensure they have room to thrive and produce an abundance of blooms.
Enjoy a continuous display of flowers from June to September by regularly deadheading spent blooms to encourage new growth. Phlox 'Blushing Bride' is relatively easy to care for and rewards gardeners with its long-lasting, fragrant flowers. Ensure the soil is kept moist, but not waterlogged, and feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season for the best results. This variety is a great choice for gardeners of all levels, offering a beautiful and reliable addition to summer gardens.
