Despite their dazzling hues, you may smell the sweet perfume of Phlox paniculata ‘Spitfire’ before it comes into view. This is a newer, exciting variety which offers a mixture of pink, orange and red tones all in one plant – making it sizzle like its namesake! Phlox paniculata originate from America, where they grow as a wildflower in many areas. This special variety has, however, been developed to extend the range of colours available, broadening the possibilities for what is a traditional, cottage garden favourite. These developments make them perfect for modern planting schemes too. Phlox paniculata also bring nectar-rich enticement to bees and butterflies and offer long-lasting bloom for vases and bouquets, with neat mounds of five-petalled flowers held on strong stems above bushy foliage from July to September. Phlox paniculata ‘Spitfire’ is a fully hardy, herbaceous perennial which likes a spot in well-drained soil of any kind. Position in full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. Lush foliage offers gap filling interest from April to October and plants mature to reach a height and spread of 75-80cm.
