VAN ZYVERDEN Multicolor Tall Phlox Nora Leigh Bulbs Bagged 3 Count
Phlox produces fragrant, bold-colored bunches of dense bloom clusters in shades of white, pink, purple, blue, and red. Phlox is a pollinator magnet for your summer garden. Pollinators are a vital part of life on planet Earth since they pollinate most flowering plants for them to reproduce. Pollinators do this by transferring pollen from bloom to bloom. Pollinators have been in decline in recent years due to habitat loss and disease.

About This Variety
Phlox Nora Leigh has unusual variegated leaves, is fragrant, and bears large pink and white flowers. It’s bold and contrasting, making a major impact in the garden, curb appeal not-withstanding. The cultivar name has been spelled in various different ways such as; Nora Leigh, Norah Leigh, and others. It is listed as ‘Norah Leigh’ in the Royal Horticultural Society database. While its flowers are awesome, its foliage is exceptional. Tall Phlox, botanically known as Phlox paniculata or commonly as garden phlox, is native to North America. Phlox is a staple in the perennial garden as it mixes easily with other plants and provides extended blooms throughout the summer.
Growing Instructions
Plant Phlox in the spring after all danger of frost has passed in full sun to a partially shaded location in moist but well-draining soil. Soil preparation: The ideal soil is porous and drains well and yet still holds enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or is very sandy and does not hold water, add organic soil amendments (peat moss or ground bark). Spread a 3-4” layer of soil amendment, add fertilizer, and incorporate together into the soil to a depth of 10”. To plant: Dig a hole 1-2” deep in a partially sunny (at least 6 hours of direct sun), well-drained location. Place the phlox in the hole with roots pointed down and space 8-24” apart depending on the variety. Cover with soil and water. Mulch in extreme climates.
