This enchanting mix of annual phlox ( Phlox drummondii ) offers a true floral kaleidoscope: pastel flowers with a raspberry eye, pure white delicately centered with pale pink, graphic mauve and white stars, and soft pink tones, all brought together in a single floral score.

Each plant thrives in a compact, bushy habit, carpeting the ground with delicate, nectar-rich flowers. Sown in borders, rock gardens, or sunny planters, they transform every corner into a colorful and joyful scene. Their abundant and prolonged flowering attracts bees, butterflies, and admiring glances throughout the summer.

In a living garden, they find their place alongside wildflowers and flowering vegetables, supporting the ecosystem while adding a playful and poetic charm.

  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy

Although primarily ornamental, Phlox drummondii evokes gardens of yesteryear where every flower contributed to daily beauty.

These phlox, often cultivated in population mixtures, are part of a horticultural tradition rich in diversity and patient observation. They were sown around vegetable gardens to delimit, brighten, and support the gardener's beneficial insects.

Their presence perpetuates this memory: that of a garden shared between aesthetics, utility and wonder.
