Tiara Tall Phlox Plant

Tiara Tall Phlox Plant is a cultivar from Jan Verschoor, a master hybridizer for Phlox. Not only has he bred some remarkable colors, but the flowers tend to last longer, holding their petals until the entire cluster is spent, making them ideal for cut flower arrangements. Known to attract butterflies, tiara has both double and single blossoms, unfurling similar to rose buds, making even the single blossoms appear double. On relatively short plants, the flower panicles are exceptionally full and flamboyant against wonderfully rich, dark green foliage. This is a truly extraordinary specimen!

Companion Planting: Aster, Echinacea, Eupatorium, Fuchsia, Geranium, Salvia
