Description
This bubbly broth of blooms is brought to you by Phlox 'Orchid Green'. Fragrant, beautiful, pollinator friendly, low maintenance—what an absolute delight this plant is! Each panicle is very generously packed with flowers in a refreshing pale green hue, which is what gives this incredible plant its alluring, fun and frothy appearance. The flowerheads are so dense they resemble those of hydrangea. Growing up to 70cm tall on strong stems, it’s a fantastic border plant. Those long stems, big flowerheads and sweet scent also make Phlox 'Orchid Green' an unmissable choice for cut flower growers.
Phlox paniculata 'Orchid Green' is easy to grow and unfussy about soil, it will need a sunny spot to grow in. This hardy perennial doesn’t require winter protection and will grow back every year, each time from a slightly bigger clump with more flower stems, so you can enjoy seeing it every summer and it just gets better every time! With a subtle tone, Phlox 'Orchid Green' combines well with all other colours, or your can keep it chic and minimal by pairing this with white-flowered plants.

Useful information
-
Soak your Phlox 'Orchid Green' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
