Phlox paniculata 'Lilac Time' - 2026

Phlox paniculata 'Lilac Time' is a charming perennial that brings a soft, romantic touch to late summer gardens. Its delicate lilac-pink flowers, arranged in dense, upright panicles, emit a subtle sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. This cultivar's upright, clump-forming habit and dark green, lance-shaped foliage provide structure and visual interest in borders, meadows, and cottage-style gardens. With its extended blooming period from midsummer into early autumn, 'Lilac Time' offers long-lasting colour and ecological value.

Thriving in fertile, well-drained soil, 'Lilac Time' prefers full sun to partial shade. Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continued blooming and helps maintain a tidy appearance. Phlox paniculata 'Lilac Time' combines aesthetic appeal with ecological benefits, making it a versatile and rewarding addition to UK gardens seeking late-season interest.
