Zone: 3GARDEN GIRLS™ UPTOWN GIRL GARDEN PHLOX
Phlox paniculata 'Uptown Girl' is a chic and high-performing member of the GARDEN GIRLS™ series. The GARDEN GIRLS™ series was specifically bred by Walters Gardens for a more compact, polished habit and significantly improved resistance to powdery mildew compared to older varieties. 'Uptown Girl' produces large, dense panicles of bubblegum-pink flowers, each accented by a soft white star-shaped eye at the center. The fragrant blooms sit atop dark green, glossy foliage, creating a clean and sophisticated look that makes it a perfect mid-border anchor for modern landscapes where tidy growth and reliable performance are key.
To ensure 'Uptown Girl' maintains its signature refined look, it should be planted in a location that receives full sun to promote the most prolific flowering and keep the stems sturdy. It thrives in rich, organic soil that is consistently moist but well-drained; regular watering is essential during the peak of summer to prevent drought stress, which can lead to premature leaf drop. While the GARDEN GIRLS™ series is celebrated for its excellent mildew resistance, providing 'Uptown Girl' with good air circulation and watering at the soil level will further protect its lush green leaves.
