Newly- Introduced Phlox (grown, containers, prune, root)

[JasmineBasmati]

There are myriad of newly- introduced Phlox from Monrovia, Garden Editions, and Tesselaar, that are taking the market like a storm, due to their beauty, and disease resistance. I have always grown Phlox in the ground, however, my back is no longer what it used to be, so I am wondering: Have anyone ever grown them in containers? And what has been your experience with them?


Thank you,

I grow phlox subulata, creeping phlox in containers. They do well for a while and look great, but they still have deep roots. They may need to be repotted after a few years, or root pruned. Best of luck.
