SWAN PRINCESS

Elegance and Resilience in Your Garden

The 'Tsarevna-Lebed' (Swan Princess) Phlox paniculata, developed by Agrofirma Poisk, is a standout selection crafted by breeders Vladimir Korchagin and Vera Borisova. Unlike many white-flowered varieties that may fade or show hints of yellow, this phlox maintains a pristine, snowy-white hue throughout its bloom.

Technical Specifications

• Flower diameter: 4–5 cm.
• Type: Phlox paniculata.
• Breeders: Vladimir Korchagin, Vera Borisova.

What truly sets 'Tsarevna-Lebed' apart is the geometry of its petals. They are thick and slightly twisted, giving the flower head an appearance of intricate lace or swan feathers, perfectly matching its poetic name. Furthermore, the blossoms are remarkably weather-resistant; the flower heads hold their shape well even after heavy rains, maintaining their structural integrity better than most large-flowered phlox varieties.

Cultivation Insights

This variety is an excellent choice for those designing 'white gardens' or seeking a sophisticated contrast against vibrant perennials. It is winter-hardy and generally vigorous. To ensure the best performance, provide consistent moisture without waterlogging and ensure proper spacing between plants. Good air circulation is essential for this variety to stay healthy and resist fungal issues, which is standard practice for maintaining high-quality Phlox paniculata.
