i have a lot of perennial phlox (the tall kind that blooms
all summer) in my shade garden. would it be happier
somewhere sunnier or should i just leave it alone?


Depends on the phlox, as I understand it. We have some sun
phlox and some shade phlox, and my books list quite a few
kinds (both species and cultivars). Since you have a lot,
maybe try a few plants and see how they do?


hm. well, it looks *exactly* like the phlox that is gtowing
in full sun on the other side of the house. it does start
blooming a week or so later, but i think that's because the
shade garden warms really late in spring.
is there a good website with different types of phlox photos?
i can't say i've seen any like this in catalogs, but it's
likely old & just reseeding itsself around.
