I'd like to return to the phlox discussion from a couple of weeks ago. I
have one Mt.Fuji, it is the only phlox I have ever grown. Once it starts
blooming, it seems to go on and on (not that I'm complaining, you
understand!). The first year it was in bloom, the flowers faded and I
started to deadhead it, only to discover that more flower buds lurked
beneath the spent flowers. I left it alone to see what it would do, and
sure enough, it bloomed again on the same flower heads. I believe it did
that 3 times (I'm watching closely this year to count, it's on number 2
now.)
My question is: is this the habit of all phlox, just Mt. Fuji, or do I have
some sort of freak plant? I'm thinking, if this is what they do, I need to
plant more of these! And, even in our muggy climate, I haven't seen any
mildew.
Just wondering...
