Description

Phlox paniculata 'David' blooms with large clusters of fragrant, bright white flowers over mildew-resistant foliage. Phlox 'David' is a vigorous and sturdy cultivar, whose blooms are great for cutting. Chosen the Perennial Plant Association's 2002 Perennial Plant of the Year, Phlox 'David' has been a stalwart of perennial borders since its introduction.

Also known as Garden or Summer Phlox, Phlox paniculata is native from Maine to Georgia and west to Minnesota and Louisiana. Typically found in woodland clearings or moist meadows, it is uncommon in the wild, but its cultivars are perennial garden favorites.

Phlox paniculata 'David' prefers full sun and consistently moist, well-drained soil. Provide proper spacing to help discourage powdery mildew. Remove faded flowers to prevent self-seeding and to encourage repeat blooming.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
