Phlox Paniculata ‘Olympus’

Here’s a pretty variety for the herbaceous border! Phlox paniculata ‘Olympus’ is a clump forming perennial with cream and dark green, variegated foliage. The upright stems are topped with large clusters of mauve-pink flowers in summer. The blooms are heavily perfumed, filling the air with a sweet fragrance, and making fabulous cut flowers for summer bouquets. Phlox are stalwarts of cottage garden planting schemes and make a great choice for wildlife areas too; their flowers attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators. Height: 90cm (36″). Spread: 60cm (24″). Grow phlox plants in any fertile, moist, well drained soil in full sun or semi-shade. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting.
