Phlox paniculata 'Rainbow Dancer' - 2026

Phlox paniculata ‘Rainbow Dancer’ is an upright perennial with lance-shaped dark green foliage, bearing rounded clusters of fragrant purple flowers with pink and white centres in midsummer.

It brings both visual and ecological value to summer gardens.

Thriving in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, ‘Rainbow Dancer’ prefers full sun to partial shade. Regular deadheading of spent flowers helps extend the flowering period and keeps the plant tidy. Phlox paniculata ‘Rainbow Dancer’ combines long-lasting colour, fragrance and wildlife support, making it a rewarding addition to UK gardens.
