The Blue Paradise phlox adds an intriguing colour accent to the garden. Its extraordinary blue-violet colouring enchants with its charm from July to September. Paniculate inflorescences composed of single, small, radially-shaped petals, sit atop tall, slender, unbranched stems. The colour of Blue Paradise flowers depends on the lighting and air humidity. Flowers that enjoy plenty of sunlight during the day become purplier, while in the morning and evening their colour turns to a bluer shade. The multitude of phlox inflorescences gives an amazing impression of a floating colour land. Phlox's seducing scent is usually considered very pleasant, though slightly sweet. The plant produces plenty of dark green leaves that form a splendid background for spectacular flowers. The tufted habit and height of 80 to 100 centimetres allow you to use the Blue Paradise phlox in the background and in the central part of a border or flowerbed. You should also try displaying the unusual colours of this variety in larger groups near walls and fences, at the entrance to a terrace, or by a wooden gazebo. You can cut fragrant phlox flowers and arrange in durable bouquets.

Phlox belongs to long-lived perennials, so prepare the site for them in advance. Loosen and fertilize the site with compost, make sure that it contains other nutrients and is permeable. Try to maintain soil moisture at a stable level in summer. Trim tall phloxes after the flowering. It will force them to produce flowers again at the end of the year. The fact that phloxes winter in the ground makes the cultivation even easier.
