Phlox paniculata ‘Franz Schubert’ (Garden Phlox)

This noble-looking phlox bears large panicles of light purple flowers on strong, upright stems. The variety impresses with a very long flowering period and a high resistance to mildew. Alan Bloom named this phlox after his favourite composer. The subtle flower colour looks particularly beautiful in combination with dark-leaved plants and other pastel-coloured perennials. And of course with roses!
