Flame® Pro Cerise Garden Phlox – Vivid, Fragrant Blooms
Like a hot pink torch, the Flame® Pro Cerise Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Pro Cerise') lights up the garden! It is a compact, fragrant perennial that dazzles with intense cerise-pink flower clusters from mid to late summer. This reblooming, mildew-resistant variety offers vibrant color and a sweet fragrance, making it a top pick for pollinator gardens and cutting displays. Unlike traditional Tall Garden Phlox, this dwarf cultivar maintains a tidy, bushy form, perfect for borders and containers.
With a height of just 12-14 inches and an equally dense spread, Flame® Pro Cerise forms a mound of deep green, lance-shaped foliage that stays attractive through the growing season. The bold pink blooms contrast beautifully with the foliage and entice hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. As summer transitions to fall, the flowers persist, adding long-lasting beauty to the landscape.
Garden Phlox is known for its hardiness and adaptability. It flourishes in humid conditions, resists powdery mildew, and rewards gardeners with an abundance of reblooming clusters that extend the season of color.
