$9.99
This new and very natural cultivar is actually a "wild form" discovered at the Harpeth River near Nashville, Tennessee and named after its discoverer, Jeana Prewitt. Although there were many types of Phlox paniculata in the area, ‘Jeana’ stood out for its exceptionally mildew-free foliage. This feature made 'Jeana' one of the best tall phloxes in Mt. Cuba Center's trials.
Lovely tall perennial (up to 5 feet) with tiny cute pink flowers (each is only about 1/2 an inch across) and a very long blooming period. It provides excellent wildlife support because it hasn't been subjected to any man-made hybridization; it's a great pollinator magnet for bees, native bees, and all kinds of butterflies including monarchs. Because of its origin, it grows best in common soil and can flop in too-rich and fertilized soil (may require staking). The flowers are mostly sterile, so it doesn't require deadheading.
Looks best in flower beds, both private and public landscaping projects, cottage gardens, hummingbird and butterfly gardens, woodland edges, and can be used for some naturalization.
Beautiful combinations with other perennials include Agastache, Coreopsis (C. tripteris and cultivars, C. verticillata, C. palustris 'Summer Sunshine'), Echinacea (E. purpurea and it's nativars, E. tennesseensis, Eupatorium, Filipendula rubra ‘Venusta‘ or wild form, Helenium, Monarda didyma, other varieties of Phlox paniculata, Rudbeckia ( R. maxima, fulgida, laciniata), Veronicastrum or cultivars of grass Panicum virgatum.
Good non-native perennial combinations include taller Astilbe, Dephinium, taller Geranium,Hemerocallis, Leucanthemum superbum, Lilium, Persicaria amplexicaulis, Sanquisorba, Scabiosa caucasica or Thalictrum.
Blooming Time: mid-July to the beginning of September, peaks at the end of July
