Garden Phlox are a true Cottage Garden plant. The sweet scent of their flowers on a summer evening is intoxicating. Bubblegum Pink Garden Phlox has all of the qualities you love in this old fashioned favorite. Scent, delicate flowers on long bloom spikes and deep green foliage. The only thing that has been left out is the need for heavy duty staking. That’s right. Bubblegum Pink is a more compact and sturdier variety that rarely needs staking. 

Disease resistance is also an important trait for this Phlox. Highly resistant to mildew and fungal diseases. Bees and other pollinators flock to this plant the whole time it is in bloom. That is the whole summer. Deadheading Garden Phlox on a regular basis will help it set more flower buds. The flowers are also long lasting in arrangements.

Bubblegum Pink™ Garden Phlox Care

Bubblegum Pink Garden Phlox blooms best in full sun, but will tolerate shade early in the day or late in the afternoon. Rich, loamy soil is Phlox’s preferred site. An annual mulch of organic compost will help to improve thin soils over time and help them be more moisture retentive. Bubblegum Pink likes to have moist, well drained soil and will need less supplemental watering after it matures. Overhead watering is not recommended. Using soaker hoses or drip irrigation helps to keep water off of the foliage.

Phlox benefit from a mild cutting back early in the summer as the first blooms appear. This technique is called a Chelsea Chop and it encourages more bushy growth that will produce heavier flowering for the rest of the summer. Fertilizing Garden Phlox early in the spring when new growth appears is beneficial.A well balanced, slow release fertilizer is recommended and will support foliage and flowering all season long.

Bubblegum Pink™ Garden Phlox Spacing

Bubblegum Pink is a more compact variety of Garden phlox that is easier to work into a small garden or grow in a container near a deck or patio. The mature height and width is 18-24 inches. Spacing plants at 18 inches on center is recommended.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
