Pretty, phlox-like 13mm (1/2) white and maroon flowers that open in the late evening, releasing a delicious scent. Grow in groups to take advantage of the honey fragrance
With highly fragranced blooms that open through the summer, the buds of the scented night phlox emerge like little match sticks over the plant before bursting into a myriad of shining pinwheels. An easy-to-grow, compact plant, the scented night phlox forms a neat mound of aromatic, evergreen foliage topped with an abundance of petite buds which open in the evening to reveal the sparkling white flowers and their fabulous honey-vanilla scent. Flowers close in the heat of the day and in the evening they unfurl releasing their intoxicating perfume! Night-scented plants are common, but the overwhelming sweet fragrance of Zaluzianskya is one of the best! To really appreciate Night Phlox, plant up into your favourite container and add to tables when alfresco dining.
