FLAME® WATERMELON GARDEN PHLOX

Hardiness Zone: 4-8   ·   Mature Height: 15-18 Inches   ·   Mature Spread: 12-16 Inches

Garden Phlox has never looked so refreshingly vibrant. Flame® Watermelon Garden Phlox lives up to its name with vivid, watermelon-red blooms topped by hot-pink centers—like a slice of summer sunshine in flower form. These fragrant, long-lasting clusters rise above lush green foliage, creating dazzling mid to late summer color that keeps pollinators buzzing.

Part of the renowned Flame™ Series, Flame® Watermelon Garden Phlox is known for its compact, well-behaved habit, standing proudly at about 18–24 inches tall. Its sturdy stems resist flopping, keeping the show tidy in borders, containers, or mass plantings. Even better? This Phlox is highly resistant to powdery mildew—a notorious problem for older varieties—so you can enjoy the beauty without the worry. Hardy and reliable in USDA Zones 4–8, 'Flame Watermelon' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Deer tend to steer clear, but hummingbirds, butterflies, and admiring neighbors will definitely stop by. With fragrance, color, and resilience all in one, this perennial is pure summer delight.
