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 ‘Blue Ice’ grows to a height of 90cm and bears pretty, blue-tinged white flowers with a pink centre and a strong fragrance. Stake plants at the beginning of the season. Alternatively, ‘Chelsea chop' them in May to create shorter, bushier plants.
