FLAME™ 'Ruby' - Tall Phlox

FLAME™ 'Ruby' is a ruby-red flowering selection of Phlox paniculata. Garden phlox is a clump-forming perennial with leafy stems and clusters of flowers in mid to late summer. The Royal Horticultural Society describes the species as suitable for full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil; its profile also notes that good growing conditions help this perennial establish in a garden border. The Flame culture guide describes the broader Flame range as compact and well-branched, with fragrant flowers and summer bloom, providing useful series-level context for this named selection. The [RHS garden-phlox profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/12736/phlox-paniculata/details) and [Flame culture guide](https://www.darwinperennials.com/controls/MarketingPDF.aspx?blobid=6) inform these practical recommendations. The assigned ruby-red flower color is retained in the plant identity. ## Maintenance Grow in sun or light shade in moist, well-drained soil. Water during dry weather, remove spent stems after bloom, and divide congested clumps when growth becomes crowded.
