It is distinctly possible that you will discover the intoxicating perfume from the Lavish Phlox paniculata Collection before you spy the generous clusters of flowers from June to September each year. Once spotted, their candy hues will draw in your admiring eyes, along with a host of beneficial pollinators. Excellent as cut flowers for a vase or bouquet – there will be plenty for inside your home as well as out. These neat mounds of five-petalled flowers cluster together on strong stems above bushy foliage which offers gap-filling interest from March to as late as October time. Lavish Phlox paniculata Collection comprises: newcomer and AGM holder – Eva Cullum with pretty pink petals; the exciting pink, orange and red tones of Spitfire; AGM holding David with unusual, pure white blooms; Bright Eyes with pastel pink petals enhanced by a magenta interior; and Blue Paradise – a taller lilac-blue beauty.All appreciate a spot in moist, well-drained soil which benefits from full sun or partial shade. This collection is made up of fully hardy, herbaceous perennials which reach a height of 90-110cm and will spread from 60-80cm and need no additional winter protection in the UK.
