Description
Phlox drummondii
Hands down our favorite new variety from our 2016 trials, this annual flowering phlox is easy to grow, fast to flower and produces abundant, highly fragrant flowers – the scent resembles lilac combined with melon. Clusters of dainty caramel-colored blooms with dark cherry centers combine to create an antique appearance, reminiscent of the Victorian era. This is a must-have for floral arrangements and also a great addition to a garden border.
