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.
Plant Phlox 'Palmyra' in your garden and you can look forward to more than just a big display of beautiful blooms. Most interestingly, this one variety produces flowers of different colour variations—marvel at a mixture white with pink stripes, fuchsia pink with white margins and clusters of crimson. Not only that, but in true Phlox fashion it will bring in the bees and butterflies as well as filling the air with fragrance. Those big conical flowerheads sit on strong stems up to around 1m tall—a few groups or a drift of 'Palmyra' phloxes in a border is an incredible sight but they also make an easy and magnificent bouquet.
Phlox is a classic addition to a cottage-style garden and this new beauty brings an interesting modern twist. Phlox 'Palmyra' enjoys a position in a sunny border which has free draining soil. As it’s fairly tall, it would look best either at the back of a narrow border or in the middle of a wide border, planted in groups so that the flowers of varying shades can form a cumulous of pink clouds.
The sassy new Phlox 'Palmyra' flaunts a wardrobe of petal patterns that'll make your garden the talk of the town! Strutting its stuff from mid summer, this botanical fashionista dazzles with a runway-worthy medley of white catwalk stripes on pink, bold pink solids, and a touch of reddish-pink glam. The blooms don't just look good; they throw a fragrant garden party that lasts for months, inviting butterflies to flutter by and gossip over the latest nectar.
As the belle of the border ball, Phlox 'Palmyra' turns heads and layers your landscape with a depth of colour that's as much a feast for the eyes as it is for our winged friends. But don't be fooled by its chic appearance; this is no garden diva. Phlox paniculata 'Palmyra' is as easygoing as they come—think of it as the perennial friend who enjoys sticking around, without any of the fuss.
Free-flowering and generous to a fault, Phlox 'Palmyra' is the gift that keeps on giving, offering up a bouquet of blooms to jazz up the great outdoors and your favourite vase indoors. Effortlessly stylish, perennially in vogue, and just a pinch of fabulous. Your garden soirées will never be the same!

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.
