It’s widely grown as a summer bedding plant, where its spreading habit makes it perfect for filling gaps at the front of a border or as part of a summer container display.
Flowers of Phlox 'Sugar Stars’ are purple-blue with pretty, star-shaped white central markings. ‘Sugar Stars’ has a compact, bushy habit, making it perfect for growing in cottage gardens and informal bedding displays, as well as pots. For best results, grow in full sun and keep well-watered.
