Phlox 'Blushing Bride' is a variety of phlox perfect for all romantics and floral compositions. The flowers change colour as they open, in shades of peachy white, pale pink and light red. This annual phlox produces a mass of flowers in dense panicles throughout the summer. Their combined scent of lilac and melon is a delight. They last up to 10 days in a vase.
This annual species of the Polemoniaceae family has given rise to numerous cultivars, varying in height. 'Blushing Bride' forms a bushy clump about 30 cm (12in) in all directions. Its green leaves are lanceolate, and form a dense background for white panicles, tinged with pale pink or washed-out red. These are composed of multiple star-shaped flowers (about 2 cm (1in) in diameter) with tubular corollas ending in five lobes. Each flower has a white star in its centre surrounded by a pink circle. They are slightly fragrant and bring undeniable charm to romantic gardens. The flowers give way to small dark seeds that are easily sown.
Phlox can be sown under cover or directly in the open ground and grows easily. Numerous plants are quickly obtained. They should be planted in the sun, in fertile and well-drained soil. They brighten borders and foregrounds of flower beds, as well as beautifully decorating a pot on the terrace. Butterflies adore them. 'Blushing Bride' allows for creating fabulous decorations for the home or an event. In the garden, place it in front of colourful foliage of Heucheras or Berberis 'Inspiration'. Dark purple foliage also has a beautiful effect, such as that of Physocarpus, for example.

Botanical data
Phlox 'Blushing Bride' seeds are best sown indoors in a seed tray from March. If your climate is mild, you can even start in February, as the seeds can germinate as soon as the temperatures are between 13 and 15°C (55.4 and 59°F).
Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost (1 to 2 mm (0in)) that you will keep slightly moist, and place in the sun (essential for germination). They will germinate between 10 and 21 days. When the seedlings are large enough to be handled, and the frost period is over, you can plant them. Choose well-drained soil, if possible rich and in the sun.
The plants do not always tolerate transplanting very well, so you can sow them directly in place. Sow after loosening the soil surface. Place one seed every 10/15 cm (4/6in).
Cultivation:
Phlox prefers light, fertile, moist, but well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. They are sensitive to powdery mildew, to prevent this make sure not to water the foliage, but only the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slug attacks.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
