The Phlox paniculata 'Sherbet Blend' is an elegant and unique perennial plant, recognized for its flowers with changing pastel shades, blending soft pink, cream, and sometimes a slight greenish touch in the center. This unique coloring brings softness and refinement to sunny flowerbeds and mass plantings.
Its abundant and slightly fragrant bloom brightens the garden from mid to late summer. It develops a dense and upright habit, perfect for structuring the back or center of plantings.
Much appreciated by bees and butterflies, this phlox prefers rich, fresh, and well-drained soils as well as full sun exposure for optimal flowering. It is generally unattractive to deer, an interesting advantage in rural areas.
