Perennial or border phlox, Phlox paniculata, is a tall-growing phlox native to the USA, typically with pink flowers. However there are many garden-worthy cultivars available in a range of heights and with different coloured flowers, making them a popular stalwart of the traditional border.
Perennial phlox is renowned for its colourful flowers with a sweet, honey-like fragrance. It’s an ideal choice for the middle of a border, and thrives in rich, moist soil in light shade.
Phlox paniculata 'Velvet Flame' has a compact, bushy habit, and bears velvet-purple blooms with a strong fragrance. For best results, grow in moist, well drained soil, in partial shade. ‘Velvet Flame’ makes an excellent cut flower.
