The exhibition "Phlox 2025" will be open for four days, July 31–August 3, and will feature more than 100 phlox varieties.
The exhibition is curated by phlox collector and cultivator Tatjana Kočāne from Rugāji. In her garden in Latgale region many flowers and other plants are growing, including 346 phlox varieties. Around 20 of those are cultivated by her and will be exhibited.
Tatjana Kočāne is experienced cultivator. She started to collect seeds when her garden collection had approximately 100 various phloxes. The key for successful pollination is close proximity between varieties as they are more accessible to pollinators. For example, during summer evenings the bedstraw hawk-moth Hyles gallii can be often observed.
During the exhibition, the visitors will be advised on phlox varieties, cultivation and how to choose the best variety for your garden.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 12.00
in the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor.
