Phlox Flame Pro Cerise 2g

Phlox Flame Pro Cerise (Phlox paniculata 'Flame Pro Cerise') 

Description:
Phlox Flame Pro Cerise (Phlox paniculata 'Flame Pro Cerise') is a compact, naturally dwarf perennial that delivers a burst of vivid cerise-pink blooms from late spring through summer. This bushy, mildew-resistant variety forms a neat mound of deep green, lance-shaped foliage, providing a perfect backdrop for its large, fragrant flower clusters. The sweetly scented blooms attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a pollinator magnet for any sunny garden or container. With a mature height of just 12–16 inches, Flame Pro Cerise is ideal for borders, front-of-bed plantings, and mixed containers. Exceptionally low maintenance and eco-friendly, it thrives in full sun, resists powdery mildew, and reblooms with regular deadheading.
