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.
Out of season
We defy you to find a cultivar of Phlox paniculata with brighter or whiter flowers than those of Phlox 'Rembrandt'. In fact, its flowers are practically the purest white of any white garden flower! They stand out like beacons against their green leaves, especially in a lightly shaded border where other flowers will merge into the gloom. Amazingly, the blooms are also highly scented—particularly on a warm, still, summer’s day, when the fragrance is intoxicating. This fragrance is, of course, designed to attract any passing butterflies or other pollinating insects.
Most types of Phlox are excellent for cutting and indoor vase decoration, and this cultivar is no exception. It is also a very accommodating plant: it is tolerant of all soil conditions, in full sun or part shade, it is happy in borders or patio containers, and is even relatively slug-resistant!
With a height of up to 90cm, Phlox paniculata 'Rembrandt' is best situated mid-way in a border, where its flowers can be viewed unobscured, from mid-summer until well into autumn.

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.
