Landscape Qualities

Cloudburst Phlox is an herbaceous perennial with a mounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.

Ornamental Qualities

Cloudburst Phlox features showy lavender star-shaped flowers with hot pink eyes at the ends of the stems from early to late summer | which emerge from distinctive deep purple flower buds. Its small narrow leaves remain green in color throughout the season.

Planting and Growing

Cloudburst Phlox will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity | with a spread of 4 feet. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant | individual plants should be spaced approximately 3 feet apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground | not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 1 years. As an herbaceous perennial | this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter | and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil | and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant | and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil pH | but grows best in rich soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by cuttings; however | as a cultivated variety | be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
