A reliable bloomer with high resistance to mildew, Phlox paniculata ‘Bright Eyes’ is a lovely herbaceous perennial with terminal panicles of soft pink flowers adorned with a prominent crimson eye. Blooming for weeks from mid to late summer, the fragrant flowers are rich in nectar and visited by hummingbirds and butterflies. They are borne on stiff, upright stems clad with narrowly oblong, deep green leaves and make excellent fresh-cut flowers. Plant in drifts for great impact and make sure you have enough for the vase!
Phlox paniculata is a garden classic that is considered by many as the backbone of summer borders. The striking billowing masses of large, fragrant clusters of white, lavender, pink, rose, red, and bi-color, blossoms enliven native landscapes and grace gardens for weeks. Despite its well-known susceptibility to powdery mildew, Garden Phlox remains a perennial favorite prized for its dramatic, long-blooming floral show.
