Noted for having excellent resistance to powdery mildew, Phlox paniculata 'Jeana' is a lovely herbaceous perennial with large, tiered clusters of small, lavender-pink flowers. Blooming for weeks from mid-summer to early fall, the fragrant flowers are rich in nectar and visited by hummingbirds and butterflies. They are borne on stiff, upright stems clad with narrow, lance-shaped, deep green leaves. This charming and unique garden phlox remains completely powdery mildew-free, even in the hottest and most humid of summers. Plant in drifts for great impact and make sure you have enough for the vase!
