Phlox 'Jeana'

Phlox paniculata
Jeanna is an amazing butterfly magnet—Mt Cuba Center's Pollinator Watch Team counted 539 visits by butterflies in two years! The clusters of tiny florets form flowering domes that look great naturalized in meadows with grasses, or at the back of the border. A mildew-free variety that has taken its place in the garden as one of the best. Found by gardener Jeana Prewitt of Nashville, who discovered it growing among many thousands of wild plants.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
An essential pollinator garden summer bloomer that attracts butterflies by the score. Great for borders and edging in wildflower and perennial gardens. Cut back by about 1/3 after initial flowers taper off to encourage further bloom. Divide in spring, or in autumn south of zone 6.
Final Spacing:
1.5-2.5'
Water Requirements:
Medium Water Use
Watering Details:
Keep moist by providing about 1" of water or so per week, more during especially dry spells.
Soil pH:
Most pH levels are tolerated.
Fertilizer:
Apply about 2" of compost prior to planting and each spring thereafter. This should be sufficient, but if not, a liquid feeding with an organic fertilizer in midsummer can be applied.
Diseases & Pests:
May be susceptible to mildew when weather is damp and warm, or plants are stressed by drought. We offer resistant cultivars but general practices should still be followed. Plant in locations that have good airflow and thin out stems to increase air circulation. Remove and discard any diseased stems in fall.
When to Cut for Bouquets:
Fully opened flowers
