Phlox is a classic cottage garden perennial known for its fragrant blooms and long summer flowering season. Its full, rounded flower heads bring colour and scent to borders and attract bees and butterflies in abundance.
Popular varieties include Phlox David with crisp white flowers, Phlox Bright Eyes with soft pink petals and darker centres and Phlox Flame Blue for compact growth and lavender blooms.
Phlox thrives in full sun or light shade and appreciates rich, moist soil. It is easy to grow and perfect for adding height and fragrance to summer borders.
These perennials pair beautifully with Astrantia, Salvia, Echinacea, Gaura and Ornamental Grasses.
