Phlox paniculata Early Pink is a compact, early blooming perennial with soft rose pink flower clusters that appear from midsummer and continue into early autumn. The scented blooms sit above fresh green foliage, bringing height, colour and a gentle cottage garden feel to borders. It is ideal for mixed planting, pollinator friendly areas and naturalistic schemes, where its fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies. Early Pink provides a long season of colour and works beautifully with grasses, salvias and other summer perennials.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
