Phlox x FLAME® Series Lilac Flame® (PP11802) is a dwarf garden phlox cultivar which typically grows in an upright clump to only 12-16″ tall. Fragrant, tubular flowers (1/2″ to 1″ diameter) with long corolla tubes and five flat petal-like lobes are lilac-purple with small white eyes. Individual flowers are densely arranged in large, terminal, pyramidal clusters 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 4″ long). Good fresh cut flower. This cultivar is part of the phlox Flame series of dwarf garden phlox cultivars recently introduced into commerce by Bartels Stek.
