Description:

Phlox paniculata 'Blue Paradise' is a tall, upright perennial with clusters of fragrant violet-blue flowers in mid and late summer. It fits perfectly into a cottage garden planting style, especially combined with other cool blues and pinks. It is best in partial shade, but will grow in full sun provided the soil does not dry out. The scented flowers are very popular with butterflies and bees.
