Phlox paniculata Younique Trendy belongs to the family of Polemoniaceae. It is a herbaceous perennial with a woody base that forms a well-branched clump of leafy stems starting from spring. Eventually, the plant reaches about 45 cm (18in) in height (for the foliage) and 40-45 cm (16-18in) in width. The stiff and somewhat brittle stems are covered with alternate, simple, ovate, and lanceolate leaves which is a light and vibrant green. Flowering begins in June-July, sooner or later depending on the climate, and continues until September, provided that faded inflorescences are removed. At full bloom, the plant can reach a height of 65-70 cm (26-28in) in rich soil. The small flowers, measuring 1.5 to 2.5 cm (1in) in diameter, have a tubular corolla of pure white, with the small centre which is almost fluorescent magenta pink. They are grouped at the end of the stems in dense panicles, which are pleasantly scented. The flowering is nectariferous and melliferous.
