Phlox paniculata 'David'

Phlox, Tall Garden

Garden Phlox's most clear bright white variety, 'David' is wonderfully fragrant as well. Combined with its large blossoms of clustered petals that bloom all summer long and its mildew resistant foliage, 'David' garden phlox is a must-have for sunny perennial borders. Highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, this variety of phlox paniculata seldom needs staking and makes a fantastic cut flower! Remove faded flowers to encourage a second bloom into the fall.
