Description

Phlox paniculata 'Purple Eye Flame' is part of a series of phlox varieties with very branching and very compact growth, producing particularly colourful and fragrant flowers. This recent selection produces an abundance of two-tone flowers, light purple-violet with a white centre. The plant is very bushy, adorned with beautiful deep green foliage, which proves to be highly disease resistant. The tubular flowers are gathered in large pyramidal panicles that bloom all summer in the sun, in damp and fertile soil. It is an easy-to-grow perennial, particularly suited for borders or at the front of flower beds. It is also perfect in garden containers and flower pots.

  

 

Phlox paniculata 'Purple Eye Flame' belongs to the Polemoniaceae family. It is a recent variety with a woody stump forming a dense clump of leafy stems not exceeding 40 cm (16in) in height and 30 cm (12in) in width. The stems, stiff and sturdy, are covered with dark but vibrant green leaves, measuring 12 cm (5in) in length. Flowering begins in mid-July, at the height of summer, and continues until September, provided faded inflorescences are removed. The small flowers have a tubular corolla, which are a fairly light purple-violet colour, with a very visible white throat. They are clustered at the ends of upright, dense, and pyramidal panicles, measuring 15 cm (6in) in length, which are wonderfully scented. The flowers are honey-bearing and nectar-bearing.

  

Phlox paniculata are perennial plants accustomed to ornamental gardens, as their legendary simplicity and generosity are almost unmatched in perennial flower beds. Phlox 'Purple Eye Flame' can be paired with dwarf asters, red daylilies, intense blue perennial flax, or white flowers of miniature roses, with which it forms a very cheerful ensemble. Phlox 'Purple Eye Flame' is a top-notch perennial to brighten up flower pots that will adorn balconies and patios.

Planting and care

Phlox paniculata are easy to grow plants. The 'Purple Eye Flame' phlox will prefer a damp and rich soil, even clay which is well drained. It needs sun to flower well. A too dry or too hot environment makes the foliage more susceptible to powdery mildew.  Planted in the sun in a climate with hot summers, it will require regular watering and mulching at the base. Pruning the faded inflorescences promotes a second flowering at the end of the season. Protect young plants from slugs, which are fond of their tender shoots.
