Jackson & Perkins Phlox

The primary difference is its bloom time; this variety begins flowering weeks earlier than traditional phlox. It also features superior resistance to powdery mildew, which is a common issue with older phlox varieties.

This phlox is hardy in zones 4 through 8. If your garden falls within this range, it should be able to withstand the winter temperatures in your area.

Yes, this variety is deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, this selection is generally avoided by deer in favor of more palatable options.

Yes, its compact, upright habit makes it a great candidate for containers. Just ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate its 30-inch width and provides excellent drainage.

It performs best in full sun to part shade. While it can handle partial shade, you will get the most prolific flowering and strongest stems with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

It requires medium water. It prefers soil that is consistently moist but well-drained; it is not drought-tolerant, so you will need to keep an eye on soil moisture during dry spells.
