Phlox paniculata ‘Laura’ is a tall, upright garden phlox producing large, pyramidal panicles of fragrant purple flowers with striking white eyes — densely arranged on stiff stems that seldom need staking.

Attractive to hummingbirds; a staple perennial border plant that mixes beautifully with other perennials. Hardy in zones 4–9.

Planting Guide
Planting: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate roots without bending or circling. Set the crown 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Backfill and water thoroughly. Grow in moderately fertile, medium-wet, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade — best in full sun.
Soil & moisture: Prefers rich, moist, organic soils. Intolerant of drought — water during dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to reduce mildew risk. Apply a summer mulch to keep the root zone cool and moist.
Air circulation: Space plants well and thin stems as needed to promote good airflow and reduce powdery mildew risk.
Deadheading: Remove faded flower panicles to prolong the bloom period and prevent unwanted self-seeding.
Fertilizing: Fertilize at transplanting and once every spring.
