Fragrant and brightly colored phloxes are often used to decorate the garden, and in a variety of styles.
In order for flowers to delight you with their colors, you need to choose the right place for them, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.
The best option for placing these fragrant flowers is a sunny place.
However, you shouldn’t get too carried away – an open area in the sun is absolutely not suitable for growing phlox.
Like any other plants, phloxes need a break from the scorching sun from time to time.
Hence the conclusion: ideal conditions for growing these flowers are created in a garden area where there will be light partial shade during the day.
If you neglect this recommendation, be prepared for the fact that when exposed to direct sunlight, the flower will begin to fade.
Conversely, phloxes placed in full shade will lose the richness of their color.
