Phlox ‘Pharaoh Blue Eye’

Common Name:
Pharaoh Blue Eye Phlox

Description:
Phlox ‘Pharaoh Blue Eye’ is a striking ground cover variety prized for its masses of starry, lavender-blue flowers, each centred with a vivid dark blue eye. Flowering heavily from spring through early summer, with repeat flushes in autumn under favourable conditions, this compact phlox creates a dazzling carpet of colour in Melbourne gardens. Its mat-forming habit makes it ideal for edging, rockeries, cascading over walls, and filling gaps between pavers or garden steps. The fine green foliage remains attractive year-round, adding texture even outside the flowering season. ‘Pharaoh Blue Eye’ thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, performing particularly well in open, sunny sites where airflow is good. Drought-tolerant once established, it is a hardy and reliable choice for low-maintenance landscapes. Light pruning after flowering keeps the plant tidy and encourages dense growth and fresh blooms.
