Phlox paniculata David

Phlox paniculata ‘David’
Garden Phlox | Perennial | Zones 4–8

David is a beloved classic among garden phlox, known for its crisp white blooms and incredible mildew resistance. Tall, upright, and fragrant, it adds a refreshing glow to sunny borders from mid to late summer—just when the garden heat is in full swing. The showy blooms form in dense clusters atop sturdy stems, drawing butterflies, hummingbirds, and compliments with ease.

This variety thrives in well-drained soil with good air circulation and benefits from regular deadheading to extend its bloom time. With its reliable performance and long flowering window, David is equally at home in cottage gardens, cut flower beds, or pollinator patches.
