White Flower Farm Phlox Fashionably Early Crystal

As the name suggests, this variety blooms earlier than traditional garden phlox, typically starting in June and continuing through August. This early start helps extend the color season in your garden before many other perennials hit their peak.

Yes, 'Fashionably Early Crystal' is specifically bred for disease resistance. While no plant is entirely immune to environmental stressors, its foliage stays cleaner and tidier throughout the season compared to older, heirloom phlox varieties.

You should space these plants 26 to 30 inches apart. This spacing ensures adequate airflow, which is critical for maintaining the plant's health and disease resistance as it matures to its full height of 28 to 32 inches.

This variety is hardy in zones 4 through 8. If you are in zone 4, it is a reliable perennial, though you should ensure it is planted in a location with full sun to support its growth and bloom cycle.

Yes, the flowers offer a distinct, spicy vanilla-clove perfume. Because the scent is pleasant but not overpowering, it is best enjoyed in borders near walkways or patios where you spend time outdoors.

Because of its tubular flower shape and fragrance, this phlox is a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, and bees. It is an excellent choice if you are looking to support local pollinator populations throughout the summer.
