Description
Fragrant violet-purple flower clusters, each floret centered by a sharply defined white star, give Phlox paniculata Uspekh a bicolored summer display in perennial borders.
The upright clump grows in full sun or partial shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Deadheading extends the bloom, while sturdy cut stems bring the bicolored flowers indoors.
