The Coral Crème Drop™ Garden Phlox is a long-blooming plant, which is good news because that means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful flowers during the summer. The flowers are coral in color with hints of white and have dark pink eyes. The showy flowers densely bloom, creating a bold burst of color. Elliptical green foliage provides a lush backdrop for the striking flowers.
Phlox has an upright, mounded growth habit and a well-branched structure. This plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8 and does very well in sunny beds and borders. Feature Coral Crème Drop™ Garden Phlox in a container for even more options to include the bold flowers in an outdoor space. The fragrant blooms attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies.
Coral Crème Drop™ Garden Phlox Care
Plant Phlox in full sun. This cultivar is mildew-resistant, but increased light levels will keep the plants dry and further reduce the risk of mildew and fungus. Water the soil around the plant and try to keep the plant dry when it’s time to water. Plants need consistent moisture for the first growing season but will need water weekly or when the top few inches of soil dry out once established. Soil should be rich, moist, and well-drained. Feed Phlox a balanced fertilizer during the spring.
Cut back growth in late spring or early summer to maintain a full and bushy look. Deadhead the plant to further maintain a compact size and more prolific blooming. Divide this plant as needed every few years.
Coral Crème Drop™ Garden Phlox Spacing
Coral Crème Drop™ Garden Phlox will grow 18 to 22 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Avoid crowding, so air can circulate and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
