Thompson and Morgan Phlox Pharoah Blue Plug Plant 5 Pack

This eye-catching phlox offers a low-maintenance, fast-growing, and evergreen solution for ground cover, rockeries, and cottage garden borders. Its charming ‘Blue Eyes’ moniker perfectly describes the striking contrast of its creamy white petals and deep blue centre. Known for its drought tolerance, this phlox thrives even in drier areas. Start by potting your plants in frost-free conditions until they are robust enough for outdoor planting. Once well-grown and after all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them over 7-10 days before transplanting to their final location. Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, enriching the soil beforehand with well-rotted manure or compost. Regular feeding and watering, especially during dry spells, will help establish young plants. After flowering, a light shearing encourages vibrant new growth. Expect mature plants to reach up to 15cm (5.9in) in height and spread to approximately 50cm (19.7in). Note that images are for illustrative purposes only, and final results may vary depending on growing conditions and seasonality.
