Phlox

phlox paniculata pink elbo17314

Summer favourite full of colour and fragrance

Phlox is a classic, richly flowering perennial that fills the garden with colour, fragrance and volume in the summer. With varieties for both borders and rockeries, Phlox has a wide range of applications - from compact, early flowering varieties to tall, stately plants that flower until September. The flowers attract butterflies, bees and other pollinators, which also makes the plant ecologically valuable. Phlox is known for its long flowering period, pleasant fragrance and sturdy stems, which also make it suitable as a cut flower. A favourite with garden lovers, landscape designers and growers.

Phlox – summer blooms with fragrance and natural appeal

Phlox is a perennial plant that has been beloved in European gardens for generations. The name literally means ‘flame’ – a reference to the vibrant, fiery colours in which this plant blooms. There are two main groups:

  • Phlox paniculata – tall border plants, flowering July–September

  • Phlox subulata – low-growing, ground-covering species, flowering April–May

The Phlox paniculata is the best known and is used for borders, cutting gardens and cut flowers. It blooms in colours such as pink, white, red, purple, lilac and even bicoloured. The flowers form dense, fragrant clusters that remain attractive until late summer. Phlox loves sun, nutritious soil and sufficient moisture, but is otherwise low-maintenance and completely winter-hardy.

Application:

  • Summer borders with a long flowering period

  • Cut flowers for bouquets and cutting gardens

  • Shady areas (Phlox subulata in partial sun)

  • Natural gardens, bee-friendly planting

  • Garden centres, municipal green areas and retail sales
