Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Phlox
'Flatscreen Dusk'
dwarf phlox
Petite yet perfectly poised, Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' is proof that great style doesn’t need stature. Rising only 20cm tall, this charming dwarf phlox forms a compact cushion of fresh green foliage before bursting into a profusion of rosy-pink blooms, each adorned with a crisp white eye. The effect is as if twilight has been brushed with watercolour—soft, glowing, and utterly irresistible. Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' is ideal for containers, edging paths or dotting through a rock garden, where its generous flowering habit and neat form add polish without pretension. It’s the kind of plant that makes any small space feel considered and complete, effortlessly blending prettiness with poise.
With a long blooming season stretching through summer, Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' offers weeks of gentle colour and a welcome invitation to pollinators. It thrives in full sun or dappled shade, asking little more than regular watering and an occasional trim to keep it at its best. Pair Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' with silvery foliage, miniature grasses or cool-hued salvias for a refined, evening-garden palette that glows in the fading light. Whether in a rustic pot or a modern planter, this dwarf phlox is a quietly stylish companion—neat, nurturing, and reliably radiant.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
