| This particular phlox has been a very important member of our small "rose garden". The foliage is wonderful from June onwards and the blooms begin around the beginning of September.

| Very nice, Rouge. More established than ours; just bought our 'Shockwave' last fall. Love those roses. Have miniature roses. Currently getting a second blooming from them. |
|
| WOW! They look great! I'm definitely going to have to look into getting a few of these. I have, I think, Blue Paradise and I love it (though I didn't know to pinch it back early on so its kind of floppy). Looks great! Thanks for sharing! |
|
| Beautiful! I have several different kinds of garden phlox, but I love the leaves on this one. Flowers are beautiful too. Kat |
|
| Oh, man! This reminds me that I dug up 3 struggling shockwave, threw them in a pot with very little soil and forgot all about them! We haven't had any rain either. Poor things. I don't mean to be a plant killer! Nice photos Rouge. |

| Beautiful! I wish mine looked like that. How old are they? How much sun do they get? Any tips? |
|
| Thanks all. These two plants get probably 5 hours of sun per day. I too have BP and you are right of course ie with dead heading one gets a reasonable amount of a second flush. |

| Mine get that much or more. Next year is the third year, so maybe they will do better. Thanks! |
