Phlox paniculata 'MISS PEPPER'® perennial phlox

Miss Pepper® is an awesome variety of perennial phlox. It produces large inflorescence composed of soft pink flowers with deep rose eye. Flowers are very fragrant and appear from late July until September. Leaves are rather light green, lanceolate, and may be prone to downy mildew in summer. Keeping the soil moist helps keep mildew away. Stems grow about one meter tall.

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. They are long-lived plants that will stay in your garden until you dig them out. Sunny location is preferred but will flower in partial shade, too. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
