General Culture:

Grow in moderately fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun. Tolerates some dryness. Prefers moist, humusy, organic soils. Avoid overhead watering, however. Needs good air circulation (space well and thin out stems as needed) to help combat potential powdery mildew problems. Plants generally appreciate a summer mulch which will help keep the root zones cool.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

Flowers are mildly fragrant. Lanceolate green leaves (to 4” long). Arendsii hybrids are crosses between Phlox paniculata and Phlox divaricata, and are noted for having the attractive flowers of the former combined with the compact form of the latter.
