Phlox divaricata 'Clouds of Perfume' - 2026

Phlox divaricata ‘Clouds of Perfume’ is a delightful perennial admired for its clusters of fragrant pale blue flowers that bloom from late spring into early summer. The soft, star-shaped blooms rise above lush green foliage, creating a delicate and elegant display in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or naturalistic planting schemes. Its long-lasting flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing both ornamental beauty and ecological value.

Thriving in fertile, well-drained soil, this hardy perennial prefers partial shade to full shade and forms low-maintenance clumps that return reliably each year. Cutting back spent flowers encourages fresh blooms and helps maintain a tidy shape. Phlox divaricata ‘Clouds of Perfume’ combines seasonal fragrance, lasting colour, and wildlife support, making it a versatile and rewarding addition to UK gardens.
