Phlox divaricata 'Clouds Of Perfume'

Woodland phlox, Phlox divaricata ‘Clouds of Perfume’, can be tricky to grow but is worth the effort. Carpets of lilac-blue flowers appear in June and July, over fresh green, hairy leaves.

It’s ideal for growing in large clumps at the edge of a border or beneath deciduous trees.

Grow Phlox divaricata ‘Clouds of Perfume’ in moist but well-drained, neutral to acid soil, ideally which doesn’t become dry in summer as this can lead to powdery mildew. A woodland border in partial shade is ideal. Take summer cuttings as an insurance against loss.
