Notes
'Younique Old Blue' garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Younique Old Blue') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees in summer and autumn. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It forms a tidy clump up to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Plum Royale coral bells, Dense blazing star, and Stella de Oro daylily.
