DESPITE originating in the US, Phlox drummondii are perfectly at home in an English garden. The variety ‘Tapestry’ is a half-hardy annual that flowers in myriad shades to create a multicoloured patch of brightness. Created by Mr Fothergill’s, its growers describe the scented flowers as ‘a superb blend of colours in a limitless combination of bicolour and picotee effects’.

Phlox grow to around 18in (45cm) and will flower from early summer through to October in the right conditions.

Phlox do best in full sun in soil that is fertile and free-draining. They grow well in large containers as well as borders and make excellent cut flowers, with a good vase life.
