Phlox paniculata. Russian selection (not only).

"old fashioned" plants are very right words.
I know many people having problems with mildew on phloxes. I wonder I do not.

Luit
There are some striped-flowered phloxes. Their flowers looks similar separately from whole plant.
Very interesting to look at drawing from old book! Some kind are still grown here, Graf Zeppelin and Wiking for example.

[Olga Bondareva]

Thanks Olga, I wish I had more space  .

Yes.  Me too. 

[Olga Bondareva]

Beautiful flowers, Olga, with such colourful display! And very nice pictures as always. I use this Phlox as often as I can get them in my flowershop works as they give  a very refreshing look in the arrangements.

Juan
Sometimes I use phloxes as bouquet flowers but only when they are broken by wind or rain.

Wow beautiful.  Especially like Lilac Miracle!

[Lesley Cox]

Love your Natasha Olga!

Love your Olga Natascha!

At the risk of going off on a tangent. some of these remind me of an old carnation my mother had, called 'The Monk.' It had muted stripes of red and smokey violet and grey. I wish I could find it again.

Olga, Graf Zeppelin is still grown in Holland as well and I believe Wiking is in Germany, but never saw it.
'Sirenevoe Chudo' seems to be a beautiful one with the big flowers.
And I like the small flowering Ivan Zaria and 'Zolushka' .(AND ALL OTHERS TOO)  ! Do you have pictures of the whole plant? Would be nice to see some??

[Olga Bondareva]

It's interesting many people like striped phloxes.  'Natasha' and 'Pepermint Twist' are very popular.

Do you have pictures of the whole plant? Would be nice to see some??

I make images of whole plant rarely. Not this kinds. 
'Ivan Zaria' has not the smallest flowers.  Medium I think. But the shape of petals are unusual. And is is very red. Burning I can say.

Some phloxes else. 

Unnamed seedling


'Radost' ('Joj'). Robust, strong, healthy, very big and congested inflorescens


'Othello'. Inexpressible color.


'Rayonant' (foreign selection, an old sort)


'Skromnaya Devushka' ('Modest Girl') and 'Radost' at the background
