Say hello to 2024’s Perennial Plant of The Year: Jeana Garden Phlox. Carefully selected by the Perennial Plant Association, Phlox paniculata‘Jeana’is a breathtaking addition to the garden phlox cultivar. The plant was chosen as the year’s perennial specifically for its impressive hardiness to the elements. Named after its discoverer Jeana Prewitt, this hardy cultivar was found growing along the Harpeth River near Nashville, Tennessee. Sporting the sweetest lavender-pink flowers along with an exceptional level of cold hardiness, this perennial has it all. Reaching heights nearly five feet tall, Jeana Garden Phlox brings a wow factor to any garden. Beyond the plant’s stunning color and impressive height, it is loved for its powdery mildew resistance and ability to attract a range of pollinators. This exceptional native cultivar best suits USDA growing zones 4-8. Ideal conditions for this purple bloomer include well-drained soil and full sun. These hardy growers will also tolerate conditions of partial sun to light shade. Given the proper conditions, you can expect your phlox to begin pushing out fragrant flowers mid-summer. The delicate blooms paired with the reaching stems on the Jeana Phlox make it the perfect option for a range of garden projects. We recommend using this garden phlox in cutting gardens, perennial borders, and mixed flower beds.
