Southern Blaze™ Bright Pink Phlox

(Phlox) Southern Blaze™ Bright Pink is a vibrant, long-blooming annual phlox that brings bold heat-tolerant color to gardens, borders, and containers. Reaching 8–10 inches tall with a spread of 10–16 inches, it forms a neat, mounded habit that works beautifully in compact plantings or massed for impact. This cultivar thrives in full sun and does best in well drained garden soil. Once established, it blooms continuously from late spring through frost, offering a nonstop display of hot pink flowers that light up the landscape. Deadheading is typically not required (self-cleaning), making maintenance easy. Southern Blaze™ Bright Pink is a magnet for butterflies and pollinators, not only adding flower beauty but fluttering beauty as well. While it performs reliably in southern and warmer climates, it's often grown as an annual elsewhere. At planting, a slow release fertilizer helps promote lush growth and abundant blooms; in containers, supplement with weekly or biweekly feedings of water soluble fertilizer for best results. With its compact size, blazing pink color, and effortless flowering habit, Southern Blaze™ Bright Pink is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking dependable, pollinator-friendly color all summer long.
