Sweet Summer™ Surprise™ Violet White Phlox

Sweet Summer™ Surprise™ Violet White is a named Phlox paniculata selection whose Syngenta page lists white and cream flowers. The exact product record is code 70028360 and describes upright growth, full sun, an 18–24-inch garden height, a 12–18-inch width, and flowering from mid-spring through summer ([Syngenta](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70028360)). ## In the Garden Use this compact selection in a sunny border or mixed planting where its light flowers can stand out against surrounding foliage. The product page describes large fragrant flowers and pollinator value for the series. Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, and water at the base during dry periods while the plant establishes. Garden phlox benefits from airflow and from avoiding persistent wetness on the leaves ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/phlox-paniculata/)). Follow the published height and width ranges when deciding where to plant it. ## Maintenance Remove spent blooms for a clean appearance. Once stems have died back, cut them near the crown and clear debris from the bed. Keep the clump from becoming crowded and provide supplemental water at soil level during dry weather.
