I Love David. David Hates Me.,
September 6, 2008 Submitted byatwhatcost from Philadelphia, PA
"Thanks to the 1-year guarantee, I had three chances to grow David successfully. The first year, it never grew, but didn't die until the end of growing season. I was told it was an unusually wet and cold spring. Last year, it grew along with the two Blue Paradise Phlox, but died after blooming once. I thought it just did that, so thought nothing of it, until it didn't grow this spring. This year, I grew it in its own large container. It bloomed, and then the flowers died off. Remarkably, it rebloomed from the exact same buds. It was beautiful and smelled wonderful. Then it died - completely.
I've asked Burpee and others what I'm doing wrong, especially knowing it's supposed to be easy to grow. I did nothing wrong all three times, and actually live in the same area it was first created. I'd love it again, but not if it's going to keep dying on me. I got my money back.
I have no idea why it kept dying on me. I do understand why everyone would want one. I find it hard to believe all the raves about how easy it is to grow."

Phlox David,
August 10, 2007 Submitted byMaryK4
"I have the white David Phlox and love it for its disease resistance, it's fragrance and also, for the long length of time that it blooms. For a few years I had one in a bed and had a really hard time keeping rabbits or something from nibbling it down just about as soon as it came up in the springtime, until I put a protective apparatus around it. Now, though, I have one in a very large pot on the patio, planted in a good potting soil mixture, and just move it around wherever I want it. I would highly recommend it for the reasons stated, and I've raised quite a few flowers over the years. This is one that I would want if I had to start over again."

Strongest Phlox,
August 10, 2007 Submitted byElizabeth from North Shore, MA
"Phlox David really lives up to its reputation as the most disease- and mildew-resistant phlox. The blossom clusters are lush and full and if you dead-head, side shoots with buds will appear and bloom yet again. Some may require staking because the blooms are so plentiful and heavy, but for the most part, David's stems are strong and can stand tall even in full bloom. David is the healthiest phlox I have planted in terms of height, strength, disease-resistance and flowering."

"I have been pleased the most with my phlox. Every year it has bloomed bright white puffs of flowers. Being that it is growing in a container, it has multiplied itself not only in it's own conatiner, but I have found other phlox plants growing around the terrace in other containers."

"I have had great luck with this Phlox. The stems doubled and tripled in the first year, and although I have heard many complain about powdery mildew on them, I kept them well watered and have had no sign of it."

"Of all the flowers in my garden, my Phlox are the prettiest and most noticable. I love the big fluffy blooms that last all summer, when most other plants look dry and tired."

"I love phlox. I use the low growing to flow over my rock wall, and the tall ones to accent the back of the garden. Everyone loves my phlox, they stay in bloom all summer long. If you pluck off the dead, the color will stay full with no brown dead heads. Every year I buy more phlox. I highly recommend phlox."
