(Mounding Phlox) Phlox 'Candy Cloud Blue' is a dreamy, pastel-hued perennial that blankets the garden in clouds of soft, sky-blue blooms from early to midsummer. Each fragrant flower cluster forms atop sturdy stems, creating a lush, full appearance that adds cool-toned beauty to borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings. The gentle blue tones with a faint lavender undertone bring a calming, romantic feel to the landscape and pair beautifully with pinks, whites, and silvers. This phlox variety grows about 14-16 inches tall and wide, forming a dense, mound that stays tidy throughout the season. Like most garden phlox, 'Candy Cloud Blue' thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Blooming for many weeks, the sweetly scented flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, making it a pollinator favorite. Hardy in zones 4 to 8, Phlox 'Candy Cloud Blue' delivers effortless elegance, soft color, and lasting charm perfect for gardeners who want a serene, refreshing pop of blue that brightens the summer garden year after year.
