Phlox Minnie Pearl

Common Name:
Garden Phlox 'Minnie Pearl'

Description:
Phlox carolina 'Minnie Pearl' is a compact, herbaceous perennial loved for its early blooming habit and masses of pure white, fragrant flowers. Blooming from late spring into early summer, it provides a clean, bright presence in garden beds and borders. Its glossy, bright green foliage forms a neat, slowly spreading clump that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Known for its excellent resistance to powdery mildew, 'Minnie Pearl' is a low-maintenance choice ideal for Melbourne gardens. It grows best in full sun to part shade and in well-drained, fertile soils. This phlox is perfect for front-of-border plantings, cottage gardens, or as a soft ground cover. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it both beautiful and beneficial to garden biodiversity.
