Coastal Breeze Phlox

This enchanting perennial greets summer with masses of bicolored tubular blooms, each a dreamy blend of lavender-blue gently diffusing into pure white. Coastal Breeze creates an ethereal display that's perfect for butterfly gardens, mixed borders and naturalistic meadow plantings. The plants form branching clusters of delicate, 1" flowers and reach up to 36" tall. An absolute magnet for honeybees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, this vigorous cultivar thrives when planted in groups along pathways or as a soft backdrop to lower-growing perennials. Its long-lasting blooms make excellent cut flowers, bringing their subtle color gradient and sweet fragrance indoors, while the sturdy plants maintain their impressive shape and continue flowering throughout the season when deadheaded regularly.
