Phlox is a hardy plant that is well-loved by many gardeners for its saturated color and easy-care sensibilities. The rounded purple petals of the Ka-Pow® Purple Garden Phlox are just barely overlapped and deliver a showy pop of color. The Phlox paniculata is a summertime bloomer that also boasts green, elliptical foliage with rounded ends.

Well-branched stems and an upright, mounded growth habit give this looker a full and dense appearance. Plant in beds or borders where this perennial will add intense color. Feature in a container to enjoy this lovely Phlox on a porch or patio space. This is a low-maintenance perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.

Ka-Pow® Purple Garden Phlox Care

Phlox thrives in full sun and fertile soil that is moist and well-drained. New plants need consistent water for the first growing season. Older plants need water once per week or when the top few inches of soil are dry. Keep the foliage dry and water the soil around the plant to reduce the risk of fungus. 

Consistent fertilization each spring using balanced plant food will keep this stunner happy and healthy. Phlox are prone to becoming leggy, so trim back growth in late spring or early summer to keep the plant contained and bushy. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Propagate this clump-forming plant via division every few years.

Ka-Pow® Purple Garden Phlox Spacing

The Ka-Pow® Purple Garden Phlox is not a large plant, but it makes a big statement. This beauty will grow 16 to 18 inches tall and wide. Even though this cultivar is resistant to powdery mildew, it is best to space plants at least 16 to 18 inches apart so air can flow around each plant.

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.

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.
