The best varieties of phlox are different for each grower. Some people like proud tall bushes with large inflorescences. Others prefer compact plants a little more than half a meter tall. Most gardeners prefer perennials, without bothering themselves with the annual planting of seedlings. And there are also such connoisseurs who are not a burden to renew the flower bed with new plantings of annual phlox every spring.

Perhaps it is difficult to single out the really best species among the huge variety of these delicate flowers. They are all good and beautiful in their own way. High and low, early and late, large and small - phlox still remain charming. Today we have selected for you a small collection of these brightly flowering plants. We hope that it will help both novice flower growers and experienced phlox fans make their choice. So, we present to your attention the best varieties and varieties of phlox.

Early flowering phlox white pyramidal

Some growers consider these plants to be a separate species. In fact, this is the name for varieties of spotted or meadow phlox, which have a characteristic shape of inflorescences. They are wide, but "folded" into an elongated pyramid, a bit like an ear of corn. And they are called spotted because of the presence of barely noticeable brown spots on the stems.

Pyramidal phloxes are distinguished by early flowering.

Some of the brightest representatives of the pyramidal white group are the following phloxes:

1. Shneelavin (Snow Avalanche). The height of the bush is up to 80 cm, grows quickly, blooms in June. The flowers are pure white, no more than 3 cm in diameter.
2. Delta. The bush grows up to 1 m in height, blooms in July. The inflorescences are narrow, the flowers are white, with a crimson center and thin rays along the petals of the same color.
3. Omega. Fast-growing phlox up to 90 cm high.Blooms in the middle of summer. The flowers are white, with a pale lilac ring.
4. Natasha. The plant growing up to 80 cm develops slowly. In July, long inflorescences bloom on the tops of the shoots. They consist of small, maximum 2.9 cm in diameter, two-colored flowers. The petals themselves are white, and a wide crimson-pink stripe is drawn along the center. In the sun, it fades and becomes lighter.

Although spotted phlox are related to resistant paniculata, they are weaker. Bushes are more often affected by powdery mildew, spots and nematodes.

We should also mention the pyramidal lilac phlox. It also has characteristic elongated inflorescences. They are a little loose, consist of small, up to 2 cm in diameter, lilac flowers. The middle is slightly darker, and the petals have wavy edges. Of this group, it is the earliest flowering one - the first buds open in early June. The bush is quite tall, more than 1 m.

Charming small-flowered phlox

Small-flowered phloxes are no less beautiful than their large-flowered relatives. Despite their size, they have their own advantages. For example, such inflorescences are absolutely indifferent to rain and wind. They do not get disheveled, do not droop under the weight of drops. In addition, phlox with small flowers are easier and easier to grow. Plants develop well and bloom even without regular additional watering and dressing. In addition, the bushes grow compact, keep their shape well and do not need to be tied up. In terms of color, this group contains almost all colors of the rainbow.

Small-flowered phlox are considered to be, in which the diameter of the flower does not exceed 2.5 cm.

One of the charming representatives of the small-flowered phlox varieties, the photo of which can be seen below, is the hummingbird phlox. It belongs to the paniculate group of flowers.

The variety is distinguished by its large, semi-friable and branched, conical inflorescence. At the same time, the flowers of the phlox Hummingbird are only 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, lilac-blue, very light shades. A purple star is visible in the center. The stems are strong, with a lot of foliage. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness.

The cosmic charm of the star phlox

Most gardeners consider phlox to be perennials. However, there is only one species among them, the lifespan of which is limited to one season. This is Drummond's phlox, perhaps the longest-flowering and most varied in color culture. Dissolving its inflorescences at the beginning of summer, it does not stop blooming until the first frost. Externally, the bush also differs from perennials. Its stems are thin and branched, with lanceolate-oval leaves. The height of the plants is very compact and does not exceed 40 cm. Some varieties of annuals are even dwarfs - only 12-15 cm in height. As for the color, everyone can choose a plant for their taste and color. Phlox can have a wide variety of colors, from white to chocolate.

Phlox Drummond, in turn, are of two types:

• large-flowered (they have flowers with wide and rounded petals, which have an even edge);
• stellate (these petals are cut into thin segments, some of them are longer than others, making the flowers look like stars).

Star phlox, as this variety of Drummond is also called, is one of the most beloved by flower growers. The original shape, long flowering and many-sided color - what else is needed to decorate a flower garden? The most beautiful varieties of star phlox include:

Powerful broadleaf phlox

Among the garden beauties there are real heroes - broad-leaved phlox. These plants differ from other varieties by their impressive appearance and "good health". They almost never get sick with anything and grow quickly. In a short time, a small seedling turns into a dense bush with strong shoots. But the main difference is still the foliage - it is larger than that of other phloxes. The width of the sheet plate can reach 8 cm with a length of 17 cm.

Three types of broadleaf phlox are popular among gardeners:

Needle phlox - a flowering bedspread in your garden

As a separate type of needle phlox does not exist. Often this is the name of the subulate phlox, they are sod, for the shape of the leaves. The structure of this plant variety is peculiar. The bush grows in the form of many recumbent stems, densely covered with small leaves. They resemble hard needles with a sharp tip no more than 2 cm long. This is probably why phlox got this name.

The “needles” retain their green color for a long time, until the onset of real winter frosts.

Growing up, phlox forms a real green carpet that transforms during flowering. It starts already at the end of spring, and sometimes the second wave comes at the beginning of autumn. The flowers are small, no more than 2.5 cm in diameter. But there are so many of them that the bushes themselves are sometimes not visible. Although the plants branch out quite well on their own, their shape can be corrected by cutting. But the height of subulate phlox does not exceed 17 cm on average, which is why they are also called mini-phlox.

To date, foreign selection prevails among the varieties available for purchase. Perhaps this is due to the fact that this species rarely sets seeds. However, “overseas” phloxes are very effective and charming, for example, like these varieties:

1. Thumbelina. Bushes no more than 15 cm high. The flowers are pink, small, with a carmine ring.
2. Aurora. The bush is no higher than 12 cm. The flowers are white, in the shape of a star, with an imperceptible pink tint.
3. Wilson. Highest variety with 20 cm bushes. The flowers are very small, lavender blue.

Mysterious smoky phlox

Smoky species can be considered one of the most beautiful and best varieties of phlox. They are usually not distinguished into a separate group, however, the color of such phloxes has an individual character. It's all about the light so-called haze - a thin silvery (less often - chestnut) bloom on the petals. Due to the haze, the initial color of the inflorescences can change.

Among the smoky phlox, it is worth noting the following varieties:

• Berendey;
• Selena;
• Bach.

Phlox Berendey

The bush is compact, up to 80 cm in height. Shoots are strong, but slightly inclined under the weight of large rounded inflorescences. Blooms in July, large flowers are purple at first, with a lighter center. The petals are covered with a silvery bloom, due to which the flowers gradually turn gray.

If the weather is hot, the haze practically does not appear and the flowers remain lilac.

Phlox Selena

A medium-sized bush no more than 80 cm in height grows quickly. Blooms from the middle of summer with large, lush and conical inflorescences. In the photo of phlox Selena, it can be seen that large dark pink flowers are covered with a gray haze. The middle of the flower in the form of a white star remains unchanged. The color of the petals changes to silvery in cool weather. They themselves are slightly wrapped inside the flower.

Phlox Bach

The full name of the variety is Johann Sebastian Bach. The bush grows up to 80 cm in height. Stems are slender, but firm, drooping slightly. Phlox Bach (photo above) blooms in July. Flowers and inflorescences are medium, dark pink with a crimson ring. The petals are wavy, covered with a gray haze. Subtle brownish strokes are traced on them.

The variety is sensitive to bad weather and sun. It is better to plant phlox in partial shade.

Here they are so diverse, some of the best varieties of phlox. Large heads of bright inflorescences leave no one indifferent. Choose the ones you like, plant under the window and admire their flowering and aroma.

The most beautiful phlox - video

At the beginning of summer, a “chintz holiday” begins in our flower beds: a refined aristocrat - paniculata phlox blooms. Perhaps some gardeners associate it with a kind of retro from the "grandmother's front garden", but fashion is always cyclical, and today these flowers are again popular as never before. When choosing phlox for your garden, familiarize yourself with its varieties and agricultural techniques to enjoy the delicate aroma and lush blooms throughout the summer until September.

In the wild, these plants have a bright scarlet color, reminiscent of fire, hence the name - phlox (Phlox), which translated from Greek means “flame”. The genus Phlox has approximately 70 species, and they are all dicotyledonous spine-petal perennials.

In the article we will talk about phlox paniculata (Ph. Paniculata) - herbaceous perennials, symbols of luxurious noble estates, ideal for decorating colorful flower beds. These are plants with erect stems, reaching a height of 35 cm to 1.5 m. Phlox leaves are opposite, entire, lanceolate, oval-lanceolate or ovate-elongated. The flowers are very fragrant, tubular-funnel-shaped with five petals, collected in corymbose or paniculate inflorescences.

Varieties of phlox paniculata vary in height and color, excluding only yellow pigment from their palette. Although, thanks to the work of breeders, there is an exception here, which we will talk about a little later. Separately, I would like to focus on the nostalgic scent of phlox, the subtle scent of the summer sun. Having this bright and light flower in your garden, you will create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation throughout the summer season.

How to achieve lush bloom?

Landing site. Phlox is native to North America, where it grows on the damp forest edges among bushes, in the humid penumbra of valleys and near rivers. Therefore, some varieties will feel good in an open sunny space, while for others, more closed shaded places on the north side are suitable so that the flowers do not fade.

When growing phlox in partial shade, one must be prepared for the fact that they may have a predisposition to stretch and bloom later than the described period. But for some variegated varieties, partial shade is highly recommended. The fact is that bright phloxes have little chlorophyll, and in the sun the flowers can burn, and in deep shade, on the contrary, lose their color. Therefore, partial shade, when the sun appears in the first or second half of the day, is considered the most suitable for flowering bright phlox. Sometimes you even have to transplant some sort, looking for the perfect spot for him, so that he "played" in all its glory.

Partial shade, when the sun appears in the first or second half of the day, is considered the most suitable for flowering bright phlox.

The soil slightly acidic or neutral, sandy loam will do. Phloxes are responsive to fertile soils, therefore, when planting, you can add humus, ash or mineral fertilizers with nitrogen content. When planting, deepen the cut by 3-4 cm.

Watering. Phloxes are moisture-loving, but do not like stagnant water. Often it is the waterlogging of these plants that leads to powdery mildew disease. When planting, make sure that there will be no stagnation of water in the spring after the snow melts. In the summer, watering at the root should be regular and abundant.

Top dressing. Lush flowering of phlox is not so difficult to achieve using top dressing. It is recommended to feed three times a season at a strictly allotted time. The first time we feed phlox in the spring during the regrowth of shoots with nitrogen-containing or complex fertilizers. The second feeding occurs at the beginning of summer during the budding period with complex or phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. And the final feeding with phosphorus-potassium minerals already without nitrogen is done after flowering, which prepares the plant for wintering. We use organic matter in the form of rotted compost, manure only in spring or when planting.

Phlox division. Varietal phloxes reproduce by dividing the bush or by cuttings. The best time to divide phlox is late summer and early autumn. After digging up the bush, divide the rhizome into several parts with your hands or with pruning shears. Plant in the ground, deepening the divide by 3 cm.

Cuttings. Choose a strong branch with no signs of wilting. We take the middle of the stem and cut the stalk into two internodes with a pruner. We immerse in the ground, water and cover with plastic containers.After two to three weeks, the cutting will take root.

Care nuances

Phloxes have a small superficial root system, which entails some nuances in care.

1. Annually, at the base of the phlox peduncle, one or two renewal buds are laid, and thus the bush grows upward. The flower is pushed out of the ground, as it were, exposing the roots. Therefore, in the fall, every year it is necessary to add earth to the base of the bush so that the bush does not freeze and die.

In the fall, every year it is necessary to add earth to the base of the bush so that the bush does not freeze and die.

2. You cannot loosen the ground around the plant, because you can touch the surface roots. Instead, it is better to sprinkle the earth on top. And one more nuance: if you dug phloxes and transplanted, this does not mean at all that it will not appear in the same place next year, since they also reproduce by root cuttings.

How to prolong flowering?

You can artificially extend the flowering of phlox for three weeks. It is necessary to remove the peduncle so that it gives side shoots from the leaf axils. The awakened shoots will prolong the flowering of your favorite plant.

Fashion trends in the world of phlox

In the world of phlox, thanks to the efforts of breeders, there are many new products, but I will tell you about some of them that are especially admirable.

Phlox Arends. The German breeder G. Arends crossed the spread-out phlox (Ph. Divaricata) with the paniculata phlox (Ph. Paniculata) and gave it his name. Phloxes of this group successfully combine the early flowering period of splay phlox with the duration of flowering of paniculata phlox. Their flowers are medium-sized, the stems are thin, require dense planting with other plants that will not allow them to lie on the ground in bad weather. If, after the first wave of flowering, Arends's phlox is heavily cut off the shoots, it blooms again in late summer.

Varieties: Susanne, Greta Arendsii, Hilda, Emmi.

Phloxes of the Fielings group - the newest direction in breeding. The author of all Dutch filings is Rene van Gaalen, a renowned florist and breeder. As a florist, he set himself the goal of obtaining phloxes that would match modern floristry. Namely, so that the flowers remain in bouquets longer, and the delicate petals do not wrinkle during transportation. Phlox filings do not have flowers in our usual understanding - the petals of the flower are either absent or underdeveloped and curved, and the perianths, on the contrary, are enlarged and colored.

Phlox in a garden landscape

Of course, there are monosads, called phloxaria, but still phlox in flower beds, as a rule, is a secondary plant. And due to the fact that the bottom of the phlox stem is often bare and woody, it needs to be covered with shorter decorative deciduous plants. Undersized hosts are ideal, which will not draw attention to themselves, but only emphasize the bright flowering. From flowering perennials, some varieties of daylilies, astilbe, garden geranium will go well with phlox.

Phlox also looks great when cut. In order for the flowers to stand fresh in the vase for a long time, it is necessary to spill the bush with water in the evening so that it "pours" properly, and in the morning to cut it off with the flowers in the bud stage.

Take phlox - fragrant, delicate, so different and pleasing to the frost flowers, well, who can not love them. If you don't have these nice bushes in your flower beds yet, then it's time to fix the situation. Today we will tell you about a species that includes many varieties for every taste - this is paniculate phlox. It will become a worthy decoration for your garden, but read about the growing method and more.

Flaming Flowers - Inspiration for Legend Makers Flowers associated with fire

You know that phlox in Greek means flame. Endowed with a beautiful name by none other than Karl Liney. And now people argue why this is how phlox were named - perhaps because there are varieties of rich red tones, and when they all bloom like a carpet on the field, it seems that it is engulfed in fire. We think that the flowers could have received such a name due to the fact that many of them have pointed petals, like a star.

Well, what about the legend? There it is - at a time when people and gods lived together, Odysseus and his companions were forced to visit the afterlife, where Hades ruled. To illuminate the path, Odysseus carried torches, but when the mission was completed, and he returned to earth, he threw them away. Where torches fell, unusual flowers grew, and as you can understand, according to the legend, they were phloxes.

On a note! There is another opinion about the origin of the name of flowers, but not so common. It is believed that phlox was named so in Germany, they have the word "flocken", translated into our language - it is snow flakes.

Description of paniculate phlox Flowers are very varied

Paniculate flowers are called panicle-shaped inflorescences.Beginners may not know this, and not only there are phloxes, but other plants as well. For example, the luxurious hydrangea, which is often found in our gardens. Phlox have many different species, which already include their own varieties.

Legends are legends, but now scientists are more inclined to believe that phlox are originally inhabitants of North American content. Because the most different species were found there. As for the European and Asian countries, there is only one of the wild phloxes - the Siberian species. Moreover, this is not at all the flower that we are used to seeing in the garden, no - it is a small ground cover bush.

For information! Phloxes are very different, there are more than 70 perennial species, there are even more varieties, but there is only one annual species - undersized "Drummond".

Phlox paniculata can grow throughout our country. Its flowering begins in the third decade of June and ends when a severe frost hits. Also, flowers are called garden flowers, they are perennials. Bushes, depending on the variety, can be from 40 to 150 cm, they are incredible colors, while the shape of the panicle can be different. The root system is mainly located near the soil surface - 5-20 cm, very powerful.

Advice! When planting perennial flowers with strong roots, immediately determine where it will be best for them, how it is more profitable to decorate the landscape with them, since it is not easy to transplant such plants.

Phlox paniculate rather large bushes, often spreading, they need a lot of space. Also, a powerful root system needs regular nutrition and hydration. If these two methods of agricultural technology are observed, then flowering will be more abundant and will continue until the most severe cold weather. The seeds ripen in late autumn, after which the stems begin to die off. They can be cut in the winter, but in the spring the bushes will revive again. The roots tend to rise annually, since new buds are formed higher than the previous ones, so sometimes you have to add nutrient soil.

On a note! The color range of paniculate phlox is luxurious, incredibly diverse - there are innocent white, scarlet, purple, and stormy sky colors. But yellow shades among perennials are practically not found.

The flowers are quite resistant to cold weather, as well as to many ailments, but they need moisture and nutrition. But this is already another section, where we will talk about planting and caring for the paniculate phlox species.

Advice! Varietal flowers in the season are not so easy to buy, so it is better to go to the seed shops in advance or order online. But always pay attention to the packing date.

Agrotechnology for growing paniculate phlox - all the points from the very beginning

We will tell you how to grow beautiful flowers from the first stage - seedlings. Paniculate phloxes can reproduce easily - by layering, dividing the bush and rhizomes. You can separate flowers in early spring and autumn. Of course, any plant is grown from seeds, but it is worth noting that in phlox they quickly lose their germination. Well, we are starting to sow.

Preparation of soil, containers and seeds

The cold hardens the seeds

Everything is simple here - the trays must fit your windowsill. You can immediately sow paniculate phloxes in separate peat pots, which are then immediately planted in the ground on the street. The seeds must first be kept cold for a week - stratification by placing them in the refrigerator. The soil is suitable for the store or soil from the garden, mixed with humus, sand, ash. The first two components can be taken 1/1, the last - 1/3.

Advice! To prevent fragile seedlings from starting to hurt, pour the soil under the seedlings with boiling water with manganese crystals.

Timing and landing

Better not to water the crops from a watering can

Sowing can be done from the second decade of March to April. Transfer to open ground will be after all frosts have passed. Yes, you can say, they say, paniculate phlox are frost-resistant, we said it ourselves. That's right, but we are talking about adult plants. So, if you are already warm in early May, then sowing can be done even earlier, if closer to mid-June, then wait until April so that the seedlings do not outgrow.

Sowings are carried out in rows up to 1 cm deep at a distance of 3-5 cm, after which they are lightly sprinkled with soil. Moistened from a spray bottle so as not to wash off crops. Then cover with a film until germination. The room should be warm - 20-23 degrees. Under such conditions, the seedlings will sprout in about a week and a half, immediately remove the film and put the containers on a sunny window.

If you have sown densely, then in the phase of 3-4 true leaves you need to thin out the seedlings, leaving the strongest seedlings. About a week after transplanting, when the seedlings have already adapted, you need to add nitrogen fertilizer, which can be found in any gardening store or with flowers. This will give strength to the seedlings, and they will begin to build up green mass well. Two weeks before planting outdoors, the seedlings are hardened, lowering the temperature.

Important! If you decide to leave the seedlings outside for the night, believing that they are already quite strong, then follow the forecast so that there are no frosts. Even just hypothermia leads to a slowdown in growth and development.

Landing in a permanent place

For a flower bed, choose no more than three shades

In May, a week before planting, the site needs to be prepared - all weeds, roots, and crop residues are removed. Then you need to dig up the ground. Paniculate phloxes like to have enough moisture and air in the soil.Therefore, if your soil is too heavy, then add 1-2 buckets of sand per square meter. If the soil is acidic, sprinkle 100-200 grams of lime. If, on the contrary, the area is too sandy, then the soil is mixed with compost and, if possible, a little clay is added. Loam is diluted with a glass of wood ash, 50 grams of superphosphate, a bucket of humus, 100 grams of bone meal.

So, all fertilizers are applied per square meter, then, with them, the site is dug up and spilled with boiling water with manganese. When the earth dries up, holes are made. Depending on the size of the seedlings, they can be small - for seedlings or the size for the rhizome, which should be free inside. If during the digging you did not apply any fertilizers, now you can fill the hole a third with humus or rotted compost and add a little less than a tablespoon of a complex mineral preparation. Then paniculate phlox are planted, covered with soil and spilled abundantly.

Advice! So that the soil retains moisture well, does not overheat and keeps warm in cold weather, the flowers are mulched. For the summer, it can be decorative materials, for the winter, simple straw, peat or spruce branches.

Care after landing

You need to feed 4-5 times per season.

Two weeks after planting, when the seedlings are rooted, nitrogen fertilization can be applied. You can feed with saltpeter - a spoon in a bucket of water or manure - 1/10 with water, the mullein is also bred in the same proportion. Then, every 14-20 days, paniculate phlox will need to be fertilized in turn with mineral compounds and organic matter. For example, it can be 10 grams of potassium and the same amount of superphosphate mixed with wood ash, you can take the drug "AVA". Organic chicken manure is used - 1/20 with water. An approximate schedule should be as follows - after picking, after rooting, during budding, flowering and after its completion.

Advice! If you don’t have time to breed different fertilizers with water, then just buy any liquid preparation from a flowering plant store.

As for other agricultural techniques, paniculate phloxes require a minimum of attention. Watering should be done as the soil dries, the soil should be loosened carefully so as not to damage the roots. Of course, weeds will be regularly removed from the beds, and those bushes that disintegrate to the side need to be tied up.

How to propagate phlox? Propagation method by part of the stem

About seed reproduction, we told you how to get seedlings too. But what if you want to separate your phloxes, which have already grown? It couldn't be easier. This can be done in early spring or autumn, when the aerial part has not yet grown, by dividing the root into parts. Or, separate the part completely from the bush, but not during flowering, so that phloxes do not start to hurt. Then you prepare the holes again, fertilize and plant flowers. The first 1-2 weeks you need to cast the bushes, and soon they will take root.

Diseases of paniculate phlox Powdery mildew

The flowers are unpretentious and they can only get sick with improper agricultural technology. If you are feeding, you have chosen a good sunny place, other high plantings do not interfere with the plants, there are no weeds, then phloxes will not hurt. If they lack something, then a number of ailments may develop:

• powdery mildew - quite common on phlox. It looks like a white coating of flour. For wrestling use "Oxyhom", "Hom", Bordeaux mixture, "Abiga-peak";
• phomosis - most often formed during budding, flowers begin to curl and wither. Bordeaux mixture and cutting off the diseased parts will again help;
• rust - the leaves are covered with brown spots. For processing, copper sulfate and Bordeaux mixture are changed.

These agricultural techniques are enough to grow luxurious paniculate phlox.Taking care of flowers will help to avoid various negative moments, in return you will get a long beautiful flowering.
