Olympus Garden Phlox is a unique, and unmistakable tall garden phlox with bold, magenta and white blooms in large, dense terminal panicles; and stunning, variegated, green leaves with cherry red margins that morph to white as they mature.
Boskoop Royal Horticultural Society in the Netherlands crowned Phlox paniculata ‘Olympus’ as Best in Show in 2022. An upright, clumping perennial, it reaches 3 feet tall and spreads to 2 feet wide. Wildly floriferous, the very fragrant flowers bloom all summer long into fall.
Plant Olympus Phlox in full sun to partial shade. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and bees to the garden. Bred to have better resistance to powdery mildew than typical Phlox paniculata varieties. This tall variegated Phlox is easy to grow and hardy to -40 °C (-40 °F).
