Landing in open ground

Phloxes are planted throughout the season, but optimal timing spring, late summer or early autumn. Planting pits 25–30 cm deep are prepared for them. They should be spacious in width so that the roots fit freely. At the bottom of the pit pour 2-3 tbsp. spoons of ash, mineral fertilizers at the rate specified in the instructions and humus or compost. The amount of organic matter in the composition of the soil mixture is 30-50%. All components are thoroughly mixed with the ground and the planting holes are filled by 2/3. A small mound is formed in the center, on which a seedling is placed. The roots of the plants are straightened and covered with earth. When planting, make sure that the root neck is deepened by 5–6 cm and the renewal buds on it are also at least 3 cm in the ground. The soil around the seedling is well tamped. Phlox is watered abundantly immediately after planting and for the next 3-4 days if the weather is dry.

The article "" will help you choose the seeds of panicled phlox, in which you will also find many other types and varieties of phlox.

You will find about the classification and selection of panicled phloxes.

Choosing a place and soil for planting

Suitable areas for phlox are well-lit or slightly shaded. In the sun, plants are planted if regular watering is provided. Variegated, brightly colored varieties prefer partial shade. They contain less chlorophyll and fade in the sun.

Phlox paniculata grows in any well-cultivated and drained garden soil. The acidity level should be neutral or slightly acidic. Heavy clay and sandy soils are improved before planting.

Care

Watering

Phlox paniculata is moisture-loving. The amount of water depends on the degree of dryness of the soil. In the heat, the plants are watered frequently and plentifully in order to completely wet the root zone. The soil around the bushes should be moist, but without stagnation and accumulation of water.

For 1 sq. m (for one irrigation) in dry weather, 1.5–2 buckets of water are required. Water the phlox in the evening so that the water does not evaporate quickly. If the autumn turned out to be dry and warm, watering does not stop until October, so that the plants accumulate a supply of moisture for a successful winter.

top dressing

Feeding phlox begins from the 2nd year after planting. Each gardener empirically chooses his own feeding scheme. It all depends on the rate of growth and development of the plant. The standard number of dressings per season is 3-4.

Nitrogen is used only in spring. In the spring, as soon as the shoots grow up to 10 cm, the bushes are sprayed with a solution of urea - 1 tbsp. a spoon is dissolved in 10 liters of water.

Before budding, the bushes are mulched with humus mixed with ash and flower mineral fertilizer. After flowering, you can feed phlox with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. After autumn pruning - the last top dressing - organic mulching with the addition of ash.

Pruning and garter

One of the important procedures is pruning bushes before wintering. It is better to shorten the shoots minimally, leaving a stump of 2–3 cm. short pruning does not allow pests and fungal spores to accumulate between shoots, facilitates mulching and preventive treatment with fungicides.

Tall phloxes are tied up, otherwise, with heavy rains and wind, the shoots lie down and break off.

winter shelter

Panicled phloxes have long adapted to the conditions Middle lane. winter shelter for them, it replaces the autumn mulching of bushes. A layer of humus will protect protruding buds from dying off in snowless winters.

reproduction

The division of the bush

In early spring or early autumn, a 3–4-year-old mother bush is dug up. With a sharp knife, they divide it into several parts and plant delenki. It is undesirable to grow plants in the same place where phloxes have recently grown. Planted in the spring, delenki will bloom in the summer, with autumn division - the next year.

cuttings

Rooted, overwintered cuttings are excellent planting material. The bushes grown from them are distinguished by good health and immunity.

Terms for spring-summer cuttings - the end of May - the first half of August. Non-lignified shoots are cut from healthy bushes. From each of them take the middle part with 2 internodes.

The lower leaves are cut off, and the stalk is placed in a box or pot with wet sand. The container is covered with foil. They monitor the humidity of the soil and air, periodically spray the leaves from the sprayer and ventilate the mini-greenhouse so that the cuttings do not rot.

Within 3-4 weeks, the cuttings will take root, shoots will begin to grow in the axils of the upper leaves. Seedlings are transplanted to a bed in a semi-shady place so that the root system is finally formed. Transplanted to a permanent place in autumn.

You can root the shoots in September. They are planted immediately in open ground - in a mixture of earth and peat, at an angle, slightly deepening. After planting, mulch with fallen leaves and leave to winter. In the spring they are planted in fertile soil for growing, and in the fall - in a permanent place.

Reproduction by seeds

This method for panicled phlox is less popular. Varietal characteristics are not fully preserved, phlox seeds quickly lose their germination.

Seeds are stratified before planting. The easiest way is to sow seeds before winter immediately after harvest. A place for phloxes is prepared in advance - in September, and the seeds are laid out in grooves when the soil freezes. From above they are sprinkled with earth with a layer of 1–1.5 cm.

Spring shoots, with the advent of true leaves, dive onto the beds and take care of young plants as usual. They must go through all stages of development, except for setting new seeds in inflorescences. So young phlox from birth will adapt to the microclimate of the site.

Diseases and pests

Of the fungal diseases, panicled phloxes are more likely to get sick powdery mildew. For prevention, the bushes are sprayed with fungicides, a solution blue vitriol, infusion of garlic.

Plants can be affected mycoplasmas and various viruses. One of the common - variegation virus. From plants for which the strokes on the petals are varietal characteristics, diseased specimens differ in that the stripes are arranged randomly. These diseases are not treated and the affected plants are destroyed.

Of the pests is dangerous stem nematode. Plants on which the nematode settled are rejected and burned.

Even if only phloxes grow in the flower garden, it will be colorful and unusual from spring to autumn. The flowering of phlox, like a bright flame, pleases and warms the soul.

You will learn more about planting phlox and caring for these flowers from the video.

Both florists and landscape designers. The plant is unpretentious in care, which wins favor. The family includes many hybrid varieties. What varieties of panicled phloxes to choose, where to plant and how to care for them, read on.

Biological features

The flower got its name in Greece, where it was associated with flames. The fact is that the "ancestors" of modern phlox were distinguished by a bright red color.

Over the years, in the process of hybridization and selection, new varieties of the most unexpected flower shapes and shades have been bred (and continue to be bred). So far there are no yellow ones.

perennial herbaceous flower, the height of which is up to 150 cm. A powerful root system is the basis of the life of the plant and a guarantee that it will decorate your garden for years.

Compared to the lush inflorescences, which are located on fragile stems, phlox leaves look small, their shape is oval or lanceolate-elongated.

Concerning color characteristics Well, it all depends on taste. It is worth carefully planning landscape design, combining plant varieties according to their color, flowering time and bush height, so that later you do not have to redo or replant anything.

It is worth carefully inspecting the seedlings to make sure they are healthy and free from pests.

Choosing a suitable landing site

Despite its unpretentiousness, panicled phlox requires you to follow some rules of planting and care. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the choice of seat.

Lighting

The plant prefers shady places, overheating of the root system is extremely harmful to it. In sun-drenched places, flowers quickly fade, lose their attractiveness, become oppressed.

Important! The brighter the color of the phlox flowers, the less sunlight it needs. For example, blue inflorescences will look beautiful only if you plant the plant in the shade.

The soil

Phlox beds are advised to plan on soils with a high humus composition and a well-established drainage system. If your site is dominated by soils with increased level acidity, then they will have to be "fertilized" with lime, since the plant does not take root on oxidized lands.

The optimal type of soil for the plant - sandy soil. With proper watering in such a flower bed, the plant will feel great.

Planting seedlings

Phlox seedlings should be planted in previously prepared shallow pits in spring or autumn. The bottom of the hole should be lined with compost or biohumus. If the ground is loamy, add sand and organic fertilizer to the hole. Having placed the plant in a recess, its roots should be horizontally straightened.

It is important to keep a distance of about 50 cm between seedlings. This is necessary for the proper development and functioning of the root system.

When planting phloxes, you should be aware that from time to time you will have to help your wards in the process of their growth: water, loosen the ground, fertilize. Proper Care- a pledge of lush flowering.

Did you know?The popular name for phlox is "calico". All due to the fact that its inflorescences are associated with the variegated and light color of chintz fabric.

On dry days, phlox must be watered once a day (morning or evening) under the root. For one square meter you need to spend one and a half - two buckets of water (one bush consumes about two liters). plantings with cold water in hot weather can adversely affect their vital activity: fragile stems in this case crack.

Weeding and soil care

Periodic loosening of the soil under phlox is the key to their proper growth and development. The site should be kept in order and cleared of weeds, which can harm the root system of the plant or become a source of its diseases.

Did you know? Because of the spherical or umbrella-shaped inflorescences, in which dozens of flowers are eaten, phlox is interpreted and revered as a symbol of reciprocity and unity.

top dressing

To help the root system of panicled phlox to form properly, it is advised to feed the plant with organic and mineral supplements.

The optimal fertilizer is liquid manure with potassium salt or phosphorus. You need to fertilize the bushes five times: in May, June, at the beginning and end of July. The last fertilizer should be carried out during the period of seed formation.

Faded and dried phlox tops must be cut off, and then cover the rhizome with soil, peat or wood bran to prepare for winter and protect from frost.

Wintering

Phlox bushes are quite cold-resistant, but still worth playing it safe. In the case of a snowy winter, frost can harm the plantations, so it is worth additionally wrapping them with straw, coniferous branches or tree leaves. Snowy winter also contributes to the excellent "rest" of plants.

Reproduction methods

Florists with experience recommend transplanting phloxes at least once every 5–6 years in order to renew and preserve varieties. Transplantation can be carried out both in spring (April, May) and in summer (August). Reproduction of panicled phlox occurs in several ways.

Growing from seeds

After the pollinated flower wilts on the stalk of the plant, seeds are tied in a separate fruit box. It is worth noting that a flower can only be pollinated with a long proboscis.

One box contains 2-3 seeds. Mature seeds, if they are not collected in time, fall into the ground, and self-seeding occurs.

Growing panicled phlox from seeds begins in early spring. Seeds are placed in pots or specially equipped boxes. Seedlings need to dive several times, as they grow rapidly upwards.
The next stage is transplanting seedlings into a greenhouse, and only in May they are advised to plant them in open ground.

Division

This technique requires a minimum amount of effort. In early spring, after the snow has melted, healthy bushes must be dug out of the ground and their rhizome cleaned from the ground. Then you need to carefully separate the root collars with your hands, and also separate the plexus of the roots.

As a result, several separate parts are obtained from the bush, each of which should have 3–4 growth buds and thick stems. The divided parts are ready for landing in the places prepared for them.

Important! Experienced florists advise dividing the rhizome in order to remove its old woody part, in which the nutrition process worsens and weakens. Neglect of this measure of caring for a plant can lead to its partial death, depression or complete death.


cuttings

The lower incision should be made below the kidney, then shorten the middle leaves, and cut off the upper ones. Place the finished cuttings in the ground and water five times daily. warm water. After 3-4 weeks, the cuttings will take root and sprout.


Among the huge variety of phlox, one of the largest groups are panicled phlox. Varieties of panicled phlox amaze with their varied colors. In addition, they are also famous for their long and lush flowering. Today we want to introduce you to some of their most popular representatives. But first, it will be interesting to learn more about what is so special about these phloxes.

What are panicled phlox

Panicled phlox is one of the most beautiful varieties of plants. characteristic feature varieties of the group are strong strong stems, which become woody by autumn. They grow straight and form a bush that holds its shape well. Most varieties have an average height of 70-100 cm, although there are also compact species with a height of 35 cm or more. Phloxes feel good both in the sun and in partial shade. Moreover, the height of the bush in most species of panicled phlox directly depends on the intensity of lighting.

In the sun, the plants will be lower, and the buds will be smaller. But if you shade the bushes for a couple of hours on a hot afternoon, they will be higher. Some varieties of panicled phlox grow up to 1.5 m in height. The fibrous root system tolerates wintering well in open ground, but the aerial part dies off. Every year, the rhizome grows not only in width. It also rises slightly above ground level.


In order for the bush to develop and bloom normally, it is necessary to add soil every spring. It will close the young roots that form on the new shoot at the point of departure from the old rhizome.

Such phloxes bloom for a long time, from the beginning of summer until the first autumn frosts. The color of flowers can be both monophonic and two-color. It is noteworthy that they do not open immediately. The maximum opening of the inflorescence begins from the second week of flowering.

There are no panicled phloxes in the color yellow color. Color palette species is represented by white, pink, red, blue and purple tones with different shades.

Phlox lovers can get acquainted with different varieties in the private gardens of flower growers-collectors of these plants. One of these cherished places is the garden of Lyudmila Fedotova, whose phloxes amaze with their diversity. Among them, most of them are paniculate species.


Varieties of panicled phloxes: a small selection of flowers with a chic color

Panicled species have many varieties of warm coloration. Red and pink inflorescences are very beautiful, but now we will not talk about them. Cold tones, from blue to purple, acquire a special mystery in phloxes. No less beautiful are white inflorescences, especially with contrasting patches.

In the photo of the Orange Giant phlox, you can see that its flowers are pink-orange. In the center, a small crimson ring is barely noticeable. Phlox quickly grows in volume, turning into a sprawling dense bush.

The brightness of the colors is not lost and does not fade under the sun's rays.

The bush grows up to a maximum of 90 cm in height, straight stems hold their shape well. In the second half of summer, bloom on the tops bright flowers. You can admire them until the end of summer. The inflorescences are painted purple, while the petals themselves are darker than the middle. Light longitudinal stripes are barely visible along the petals. The resistance of the variety to diseases, especially fungal ones, is average.

Othello is often referred to as the blue variety of phlox because it has the ability to change color. In the evening, after sunset, its inflorescences darken and turn blue.

Despite the fact that the bush grows up to a maximum of 50 cm in height, it is distinguished by powerful stems. Along the entire length of the shoot are bright green oval leaves. Roberta can grow in the sun, but blooms better in partial shade. Her flowers are medium in size, no more than 3 cm in diameter. But there are a lot of them and all together form a magnificent conical inflorescence. This is one of the brightest phloxes: the color of the buds is rich purple, but in the center they are a little lighter.

Although the variety is considered medium flowering, its flowering is abundant and long. The first buds open in July, and the last ones bloom in September.

A tall variety that lives up to its name. The bushes are very powerful, from 1.1 m to 1.5 m high, with a large number of densely leafy straight shoots. They grow and multiply very quickly. They bloom in July not very large, but dense inflorescences, slightly elongated. The flowers are beautiful, with velvety monochromatic purple petals. This is one of the darkest phlox varieties.

Bush up to 70 cm blooms in July. This lilac phlox is very cute, with delicate coloring. There is a purple ring in the center of the flowers, and light purple shadows on the petals. The inflorescence is rounded, slightly elongated. Sometimes the bush blooms a second time closer to autumn.

In the photo of Phlox Fiona, you can see that the lilac color becomes deeper and turns into blue. This happens when it is cloudy and little sun outside, as well as in the evening.

Even a photo of phlox, Igor Severyanin, cannot convey how original and bright its coloring is. Quite large, up to 3.7 cm in diameter, the flowers are painted in a rich lilac-violet color. In the center of the flower is a large white star, about which light rays diverge along the petals. Phlox blooms in July, the inflorescences are large, lush, rounded. The plant does not exceed 70 cm in height, but quickly grows a wide bush.

A beautiful bush with strong straight stems grows up to a maximum of 80 cm in height. In July, large, elongated and very dense inflorescences bloom on it. Each flower has a diameter of up to 4 cm, painted lilac with a white center. The petals are wavy, lacy, which gives the phlox a special charm.
