phlox
i planted 3 phlox last year in small pots and planted them out into border a couple of months ago all leaves look healthy, no buds,i seem to find a lot of this in my garden, and for someone who loves flowers and has little interest in foliage it's becoming rather irritating, can anyone help please?

Give it time rosemummy, mine are all foliage at the moment, and it's still a bit early for phlox really, but when they come they are worth the wait.
Its a bit early for phlox. They normally flower in August. If they are growing well you should have flowers. You could give them a feed with a teaspoon of Phostrogen in a can of water if you are worried.
My Phlox are now beginning to flower.
I agree with Dave..I have some at much the same stage as yours, rosemummy.
I am in the boat rosemummy all green no flower heads same as last year
shall not bother with them next year
They are late flowerers, if you get rid of them, what else have you got that will flower through till autumn?
Rosemummy - I planted mine last year and they didn't flower although the leaf growth was healthy. The plant has filled out a lot more this year and I'm hopeful I will get flowers. Patience and optimism (definition of a gardener)
Oh do, Chris...
some I grew last year.
I have 3 perennials but I'm not expecting flowers for yons yet.
Thanks for all replies, happy I was too early, happy to wait, they're perennials, I won' t replace the though may move them, is that ok after they flower?
