Description
Fragrant pale-pink flowers with contrasting red centers gather in large terminal panicles on Phlox paniculata Bright Eyes from midsummer into early fall. The upright clump fills a flowering border or patio container, provides stems for cutting, and draws butterflies.
Grow this perennial in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Remove faded clusters to encourage more flowers, then cut the stems back in fall.
