Hardy Tall Phlox Blue

Hardy Tall Phlox Blue

Gardeners and landscapers alike know that the best way to achieve a dynamic floral presentation with beauty and style is to add a generous grouping of fragrant perennials to the mix. Our Blue Hardy Tall Phlox is just the ticket! Boasting large, soft panicles of fragrant, lavender-blue florets that bloom for months in summer, tall phlox creates a multisensory display any gardener would crave. It adds plenty of non-fading color and tons of texture to borders and cutting gardens when little else is in bloom. Flower heads reach an impressive 5-6" and attract butterflies to the area.

How long before these bare roots sprout? I planted 10 of them 1 month ago and none are showing yet.
Asked by My plant life
Verified Reply - ViciIf your soil has been cool, the roots may stay dormant longer. Bareroot plants are slow to "wake up." Expect to wait four to six weeks after planting until you see signs of growth.Was this answer helpful to you
