Product description
Phlox 'Famous Purple' is a stunning herbaceous perennial, celebrated for its clusters of vibrant purple flowers with a subtle white eye. These fragrant blooms appear on upright stems, making the plant an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to garden borders. Growing between 0.5 to 1 metre in height, this perennial forms a neat, columnar habit with dark green, lance-shaped foliage that contrasts beautifully with the vivid purple flowers. Blooming from July to September, this plant is perfect for adding long-lasting colour and fragrance to summer gardens, while also attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Thriving in moist, well-drained soil, Phlox 'Famous Purple' prefers a sunny or partially shaded position. It benefits from regular watering, particularly during dry periods, to maintain healthy growth and extended blooming. The plant is easy to care for and responds well to deadheading, which promotes more flowers throughout the season. Its hardiness (H7) makes it resilient in severe winters, making it a reliable and attractive addition to UK gardens.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
