Summary
Phlox ‘Miss Lingard’ is a mid-sized phlox with tall, conical inflorescences. The white flowers bloom throughout the month of June and look truly spectacular. Unfortunately, powdery mildew was a very significant problem with this cultivar. Infections began in late spring and often caused complete defoliation by late summer. This eventually killed three of the five plants. Phlox ‘Miss Lingard’ has sometimes been attributed to the species Phlox maculata. However, recent research by Dr. Peter Zale indicates that ‘Miss Lingard’ is a hybrid, and its parents are most likely Phlox maculata and Phlox glaberrima.
