FLAME™ Coral 'Barsixtytwo' - Tall Phlox

FLAME™ Coral is the trade name for the named garden-phlox selection ‘Barsixtytwo’. It forms a notably short clump with coral-red flowers and a purple-red eye; a garden trial measured it at about 18 inches tall and wide and recorded bloom from late June into late July. ## In the garden Plant this compact Phlox paniculata in a sunny border with moist, well-drained soil and enough airflow around the foliage. The trial found mild fragrance and generally good powdery-mildew resistance, but also observed a severe mildew outbreak in its second year, so performance can vary with conditions. [Mt.

Garden phlox can be divided in spring or late summer to early fall. Remove infected leaves and debris in fall; this supports sanitation but does not guarantee mildew prevention. The Canadian variety record identifies ‘Barsixtytwo’ as the botanical denomination and Coral Flame as its trade name.
