For a sun to partial shade exposure, Phlox 'Jeana' (Phlox paniculata 'Jeana') offers flowers in shades of pink and lavender. The foliage has shades of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is July-September. At maturity, expect 120 cm in height and 90 cm in width, which suggests its use at the back of a flower bed and as a focal point.

The success of Phlox 'Jeana' begins with its location: sun to partial shade, in suitable soil (humus-rich, retaining moisture during growth, without stagnant water around the collar). For Phlox 'Jeana', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain moist. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust the amount according to rainfall; this exposure (sun to partial shade) does not eliminate the need for water. A margin corresponding to its spread of 90 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 4, to be assessed according to your garden conditions.

When planting Phlox 'Jeana', remove diseased portions and avoid piling debris in the center of the clumps. Sufficient space between phlox helps the foliage dry; direct water to the soil rather than on the leaves. For combinations, consider daylilies, coneflowers, and perennial geraniums in varieties with similar needs. The flowering (July-September) and spread of 90 cm will serve as benchmarks for distributing other plants around this plant.
