If you let them dry out, the white of the variegation will dull and then brown. It's a cheerful presence, mainly for foliage, contrastiing with the surrounding green. The blooms are modest but interesting.
Grown primarily for its attractively variegated foliage. The variegation is more stable than that of most other variegated P. paniculata,...Read More though the occasional non-variegated shoot or seedling still needs to be quickly removed---it will be more vigorous than the rest of the clump and will eventually outcompete it unless removed.
The flowers tend to be overwhelmed by the foliage, and are not this cultivar's strong point.

The flowers are not real showy but it blooms mid-summer through the fall, and the foliage looks good year-round. It is a yummy deer snack (flowers only) so when it starts to make buds I keep it sprayed with repellent.

Here's hoping I have time to move it to a better spot!

I am on the borderline of Zone 8b/9a and all of my garden phlox seem to suffer from hot summers and warm winters. I am told by some DGers that visit my garden that having any success with garden phlox in this Zone is an achievement.
