A pollinator-friendly nativar with Texan roots, Southern Blaze™ Bright Pink phlox is extremely reliable and easy to grow in southern states due to its outstanding heat and humidity tolerance. It forms a relatively low mound of bright green foliage covered in glowing pink blooms all summer long.
Southern Blaze phlox varieties are some of the very best Proven Winners annuals in our Florida trials every year, thriving in both landscapes and containers. They are pollinator magnets. This series was formerly named Intensia®.

| Maintenance Notes |
Self-cleaning, deadheading not necessary. This is not necessarily true of all Phlox. Will do best in well-drained soil. Rabbits may find Phlox very tasty. An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance. |
