Enjoy the fragrance and beauty of Phlox earlier in the season than others with Early Purple Eye Phlox. In summer, you can expect a profusion of fragrant, plump flower clusters loaded with purple flowers with white starburst centers. Blooming starts at least three weeks earlier than other P. paniculatas. Its small stature at only 12-16″ tall makes Early Purple Eye Phlox a gorgeous front-of-the-border choice.

Early Purple Eye Phlox has proven to be an exceptional garden performer. An extremely vigorous variety that reliably returns year after year, it makes a top choice for the cutting garden, to use as a specimen, or in mass plantings. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade locations.

Growing instructions: Garden Phlox prefers full sun to part shade. For best results, grow in soil amended with organic matter and keep well watered, especially when plants are setting up buds and blooming. For most blossoms, deadhead spent flowers or trim back about halfway after each flush of bloom.
