I am a Miracle Gro girl! I swear by their garden soil and I use their Fertilizer for Flowers in the summer. I am thinking about buying stock in the company. Ha! The flowers at the lower right corner are 'Robert Poore' Garden Phlox. I have a better picture of it on the Database you can see. The flowers to the left are creeping verbena, the kind with the lacy leaves. This is one of my favorite plants so far. It blooms from April to December here in Atlanta, GA. Behind that are some mini roses, which I have really enjoyed this year. Their thorns are alot softer so they are easier to take care of. I have this lisanthus in the garage overwintering and I sure hope it makes it. So far, so good! yvana Lynn213 Singapore Singapore January 01, 2003 10:43 AM Post #439157 I wonder if I can grow phlox here in tropical climate in Singapore . I saw other pictures of phlox with tulips next to it. yvana Stone Mountain, GA (Zone 7b) January 01, 2003 11:07 AM Post #439174 I just looked on the internet (hortpix.com). They say that Phlox can be grown in USDA zone 9A. I hope that helps! yvana yvana Stone Mountain, GA (Zone 7b) January 01, 2003 11:09 AM Post #439176 Lynn, I bet that the phlox you saw in the picures with tulips is creeping phlox, which is a different plant (same family). Phlox paniculata is the phlox in the picture with the lisanthus. Phlox paniculata is the one that is hardy to USDA Zone 9A.

I would like to try some from seed. Very pretty,yvana. tremax Delray Beach, FL (Zone 10a) July 07, 2004 11:15 PM Post #942159 HERE IN 10A ( DELRAY BEACH, FL) I HAVE HAD POOR LUCK GROWING LISIANTHUS. BOUGHT 8 OF THEM FROM HOME DEPOT WHICH SEEMED TO BE IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. PLANTED SOME IN FULL SUN, SOME IN PART SHADE, LEFT SOME IN ORIGINAL POTS. NONE HAVE FLUORISHED. TWO ARE STILL ALIVE BUT BARLEEY. THE GUY AT HOME DEPOT SAID HE NEVER HAD LUCK WITH THEM EITHER WHEN I WAS BACK THERE THE OTHER DAY. AND IT'S SUCH A PRETTY PLANT.
