Pure white phlox. Fresh from the garden.

A white, bee and butterfly magnet. The "White Admiral" definitely draws them in. The phlox takes its name from the Greek word for flame. And this phlox fires itself upwards, with flowers atop 80-90 cm stems. They have a wonderful scent, too. You will receive the phlox "White Admiral" as bare-root stock in sugar cane sacking. This is more environmentally friendly than plastic nursery pots. The roots are shipped fresh from the ground. They are already one year old. This gives them additional strength, enabling them to grow faster than they would in a nursery pot. Plants grown from bare-root stock also adapt to their new environment more easily. They flower better and they are more economical. Bare-root stock plants grow when it becomes warmer. They are winter-hardy perennials. They can be planted at any time, provided that the ground is not frozen. The phlox starts flowering in the summer. This will continue for months. The phlox needs a spot in full or half sun. They can be planted in flower pots or separately around the garden. After planting, water the phlox regularly. They will take root better this way.

Planting
Phlox 'White Admiral' is a perennial that grows best in the garden. Prepare a large hole in good, loose soil. Improve poor garden soil by mixing in compost and cow manure pellets. Plant the Phlox 'White Admiral' at the appropriate depth in the hole. The top of the roots should be just below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting. Phlox 'White Admiral' grows and blooms well in the sun or partial shade in loose, nutritious soil. Phlox 'White Admiral' makes an excellent companion plant The stunning Phlox 'White Admiral' is an eye-catcher in the flower border and in flowerbeds. The hearty flower clusters are borne on long, sturdy stems. Plant Phlox paniculata 'White Admiral' at the back of the border, along with Monarda ‘Mohawk’ and Leucanthemum ‘Wirral Supreme’. The Phlox also combines beautifully with roses and also with plants that have variegated foliage. If you want to see your flower bed filled with large groups of colour then Phlox paniculata 'White Admiral' is an excellent choice.
Care
Phlox 'White Admiral' is an easy-to-grow perennial that can remain in the same spot for several years. Make sure you prevent the soil around the roots from drying out. Dry soil is not well tolerated. Phlox 'White Admiral' grows well in moist soil but can survive in regular garden soil although we do recommend a regular application of fertiliser during the growing season. Remove the faded flowers to encourage a second flowering. The stems above the ground die back in winter. Cover the plants with a layer of fallen leaves. In early spring, apply a mulch of manure. Cut off any all old flower stems. Soon there will be some new shoots appearing above the ground. Cutting back Phlox 'White Admiral' Early in the season you can prune your phlox by about 2-5 cm and this will encourage a healthy and bushy growth. After the first flowering the stems can be cut back by about 10 cm to just above a point where there are healthy leaves and this will encourage a second flowering period. If there are any signs of powdery mildew cut back the whole stem and destroy both stems and foliage. Cutting back phlox does help to control this.
Extra
Phlox 'White Admiral' is a great choice for the garden with its hearty clusters of flowers. The white flowers are divided into five petals with an eye in the centre. The flowers spread a delicate fragrance and are highly attractive to butterflies.
