Phlox paniculata ‘Olympus’
Phlox paniculata 'Olympus’ is a tall garden phlox with striking variegated foliage and fragrant magenta-pink flowers.
Phlox paniculata ‘Olympus’ is an unusual cultivar where the foliage demands equal billing to the flowers. This tall garden phlox is heavily variegated in creams and greens with the growing tips in brilliant cherry-reds. Large magenta flowers with pale pink eyes follow from mid to late summer. Fragrant too. Great for non-stop foliar and floral interest from early spring to fall dormancy. Popular with hummingbirds and butterflies.
