Add some early colour to your garden with Phlox Fashionably Early Lavender Ice. This beautiful perennial is known for its large clusters of soft lavender flowers, accented with a subtle white centre. Blooming earlier than many other phlox varieties, it brings a long-lasting display of colour from June to October. Supplied as a 9cm garden-ready plant, Phlox Fashionably Early Lavender Ice is perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or containers, offering height and fragrance with minimal maintenance.
Key Features:
Lavender Blooms with White Centers: This variety produces striking lavender flowers with a soft white centre, creating a delicate and soothing colour palette that enhances any garden setting.
Early and Long Blooming Season: As its name suggests, Phlox Fashionably Early Lavender Ice blooms earlier than most phlox varieties, starting in June through to October, offering a lengthy display of colour.
Fragrant and Pollinator-Friendly: The sweetly scented flowers not only fill your garden with fragrance but also attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting local wildlife and enhancing biodiversity.
Compact and Upright Growth Habit: Growing to around 60-75cm in height, this variety has an upright, compact growth habit, making it perfect for adding vertical interest to borders, mixed beds, or containers.
Hardy and Low Maintenance: This phlox is a hardy perennial that returns year after year, requiring minimal care, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Care Instructions for Phlox Fashionably Early Lavender Ice:
Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. This variety thrives in sunny borders and mixed planting schemes, where it can enjoy both sunlight and air circulation.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants about 40-50cm apart to allow for healthy growth and airflow.
Watering Tips: Water thoroughly after planting to help establish strong roots. Keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Once established, Phlox Fashionably Early Lavender Ice is moderately drought-tolerant.
Feeding Schedule: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage lush growth and a profusion of blooms throughout the season.
Deadheading and Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and keep the plant tidy. Cut back the plant in late autumn after flowering to prepare for the winter months.
Winter Care: This phlox is fully hardy but benefits from a layer of mulch around the base in late autumn to protect the roots during extreme cold.
