Noted for its excellent mildew resistance, Phlox paniculata Grape Lollipop is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial boasting pretty cone-shaped clusters packed with deep, saturated purple flowers. Each tiny floret is accented by white brushstrokes and a bright orange halo in the center. Blooming from midsummer to early fall, the sweetly fragrant flowers are rich in nectar and visited by hummingbirds and butterflies. They are borne atop a bushy clump of medium green foliage. Compact and well-branched, this garden phlox adds months of color and delightful fragrance to the garden. It is perfectly suited for containers, courtyard gardens, and the middle of the border. Great for small gardens!
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.
