Phlox paniculata 2ltr purple star flower

Phlox paniculata is a striking garden phlox, prized for its eye-catching bicoloured blooms – rich purple petals each marked with a bright white star at the centre, creating a beautiful, high-contrast display. From mid to late summer, large, fragrant flower trusses are held above lush green foliage, filling the garden with colour and a sweet scent that lingers well into evening.

This upright, clump-forming perennial reaches a height of around 60–90cm with a spread of 45–60cm, making it a lovely addition to the middle or back of a mixed border, a traditional cottage garden, or as a cut flower for indoor arrangements.

Phlox paniculata thrives in full sun to partial shade, in moist but well-drained, fertile soil, and is fully hardy once established. Its nectar-rich, fragrant flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbird-like hawk-moths, making it a valuable addition to any pollinator-friendly garden. Deadheading spent blooms will help prolong the flowering display.

Each Phlox paniculata has been carefully hand-selected to ensure it reaches you in excellent condition, ready to bring its striking starry blooms to your garden.
