Phlox paniculata ‘Red Riding Hood’

Summary

Phlox paniculata ‘Red Riding Hood’ performed poorly in our trial. During the first year, spider mites were especially problematic, and during the second year powdery mildew was very severe. By the third year, the plants were in very bad shape overall. The steady decline in plant health also reduced the number  of flowers produced each year and their longevity.
