Product description
Phlox paniculata 'Famous White' is a beautiful herbaceous perennial that produces clusters of pure white, fragrant flowers on tall, upright stems. These tubular flowers bloom from mid-summer to early autumn, providing a long-lasting display that brings brightness to borders, containers, and cottage gardens. Its dark green, lance-shaped foliage offers a striking contrast to the white blooms, and the plant's upright growth habit makes it ideal for adding vertical interest to garden designs. The white flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the ecological value of your garden.
Growing to a height of 50-100 cm with a similar spread, Phlox 'Famous White' thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun, although it can tolerate partial shade. Regular watering is important, particularly during dry spells, to keep the plant healthy and vibrant. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more blooms, extending the flowering period and keeping the plant looking its best throughout the summer. With its hardiness and low-maintenance nature, this perennial is an excellent addition to any garden, providing colour, fragrance, and ecological benefits.

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.
