My guess would be the last - needs one year to establish - you'll probably
have blossoms next year. They like a LOT of sun. You had a very cloudy June,
I understand - so maybe they are not liking that either.

My summer phlox has done nothing since planting in early June from 1
gallon
container. No growth, no death, no blossoms, no wilting, nothing. Any
ideas? Too hot? Too wet? Soil too rich? Needs a few years to
establish?
