Phlox x Eva Cullum is a garden phlox cultivar that typically grows in an upright clump to 2-3′ tall. Fragrant, tubular flowers (1/2″ to 1″ diameter) with long corolla tubes and five flat petal-like lobes are pink with dark pink eyes. Individual flowers are densely arranged in large, terminal, pyramidal clusters (panicles to 6-12″ long) in summer on top of stiff, upright stems which seldom need staking. Long mid to late summer bloom sometimes extends into early fall. Narrow, opposite, pointed, lance-shaped leaves (to 5″ long). Good fresh cut flower. An introduction of Blooms of Bressingham in England (Eva Cullum was a former department head at Bloom’s Nursery).

A Northern Sunset Perennial. It prefers rich, moist soil in full sun to part sun.
