Phlox paniculata ‘David’ is a standout garden phlox variety known for its large, fragrant clusters of pure white flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. A proven performer, it offers excellent mildew resistance—one of the top concerns for tall garden phlox—making it a reliable and attractive choice for sunny borders and pollinator gardens.
This upright, clump-forming perennial grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, creating a strong vertical presence in mixed beds. The bright white blooms contrast beautifully with green foliage and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
David thrives in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming into early fall.
