Phlox paniculata 'Picasso' - 2026

Phlox paniculata 'Picasso' is a showy perennial with lilac-pink flowers streaked with white, creating a striking contrast. The blooms are borne in dense terminal panicles from midsummer into early autumn, perfuming the air and drawing in pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its upright, clump-forming habit combined with dark green lanceolate foliage gives structure and visual appeal in borders, cottage settings, and mixed perennial beds.

This cultivar thrives in rich, moist but well-drained soil and prefers full sun or partial shade. Deadheading spent flowers helps extend the blooming period and maintain a clean appearance. Phlox paniculata 'Picasso' is valued for its bold colouration, fragrance, and support for wildlife, making it a rewarding addition to UK gardens.
