Phlox ‘Jagger’

Common Name:
Phlox ‘Jagger’

Description:
Phlox ‘Jagger’ is a compact, evergreen perennial ground cover from the Paparazzi® series, prized for its vibrant lavender-purple blooms with a contrasting fuchsia eye. Flowering prolifically from early spring through summer, it forms a dense, low-growing mat of foliage, making it ideal for rockeries, borders, and containers. The plant thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun to part shade and well-drained soils. Once established, it exhibits good drought tolerance and requires minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and a light trim after flowering helps maintain its compact form. Its fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to the garden.
