Phlox - Garden Girls Glamour Girl Potted Plant 2 Pack

Phlox 'Glamour Girl' is a true standout in the summer garden, living up to her name with a high-fashion display of vibrant color and elegant form. A member of the "Garden Girls" collection, this variety is highly prized for its large, rounded clusters of fragrant, hot coral-pink flowers that sit atop strong, dark purple stems.

What truly sets 'Glamour Girl' apart from older phlox varieties is her exceptional health and resilience. While many tall garden phlox struggle with powdery mildew (the white "dusty" film on leaves), this cultivar stays remarkably clean and green even in hot, humid summers. The contrast between the neon-pink blooms and the healthy, dark green foliage creates a lush, sophisticated look that lasts for weeks.

Quick Facts:

• Foliage: Lush, dark green, and lance-shaped; notably resistant to powdery mildew.
• Flowers: Large, sweet-smelling clusters of bright coral-pink; attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
• Light: Full Sun is best for the strongest stems and maximum flower production.
• Growth Habit: Upright and sturdy; grows approximately 2–3 feet tall and 18–24 inches wide.
• Hardiness: Very reliable in USDA Zones 3–8.
• Landscape Use: A "must-have" for the middle of a perennial border, cottage gardens, or as a vibrant cut flower for summer arrangements.

Pro Tip: To maximize the "glamour," plant this phlox in rich, well-drained soil with good air circulation. While it is mildew-resistant, watering at the base of the plant (rather than over the leaves) helps maintain its pristine appearance. If you "deadhead" (remove the faded flower clusters) promptly, you may be rewarded with a second, lighter flush of blooms in late summer. It's a heavy feeder, so a bit of compost or balanced fertilizer in the spring will ensure she puts on her best show!
