Volcano™ Phlox: Fragrant, Mildew-Resistant Color for Summer Gardens

For masses of color that last all season, nothing beats the Volcano™ Phlox series. These garden phlox are sturdy, fragrant, and remarkably tolerant of powdery mildew—a common problem with other phlox varieties.

Volcano™ Phlox offer a compact, tidy habit with narrow, pointed leaves and strong, upright stems. Each stem produces multi-branched flower clusters that can hold up to 125 softly fragrant blooms. With a wide range of vibrant colors and even striking bicolor options, these perennials bloom from early summer through fall—especially if spent stems are trimmed back by about a quarter after the first flush of flowers.

Perfect for mass plantings or container gardens, Volcano™ Phlox are ideal for adding long-lasting, colorful accents to your landscape. Plant them in groups to create bold wedges of color, or mix them into summer containers alongside other warm-weather favorites for added height, texture, and fragrance.
