I love seeing that even so-called old-fashioned plants such as perennial phlox still attract breeders’ attention and they invest time and energy in crossbreeding and selecting new, hardier, healthier, and more beautiful varieties. Their popularity is proved by the fact that they occupy 3 large pages in the RHS Encyclopedia of Plants (not many plants can boast that).
ADESSA™ Rose Eye phlox is a variety with light purple pink flowers with a small, deep purple red eye in the centre. They are fragrant and attract butterflies. Blooming begins usually in mid July and if you remove stems with spent flowers they can produce new stems with flowers until September or early October. The leaves are lance-shaped, medium green, and disease resistant.

Growing phlox is easy. It likes almost any garden soil, fertile or poor, but with enough nutrients the flowering will be heavier, and the plant will not suffer common phlox diseases. It only dislikes long-lasting drought or quick changing of wet and dry spells – in such environment its leaves will be prone to powdery mildew. They are long-lived plants that will stay in your garden until you dig them out. Sunny location is preferred but it will flower in partial shade, too. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
