Antique colour, sweet fragrance, and effortless charm.
Phlox ‘Cherry Caramel’ feels like a nod to another era. Clusters of dainty blooms open in soft caramel tones, each one finished with a deep cherry center that gives the flowers a quietly dramatic, Victorian-inspired look. The colour palette is warm and nostalgic, perfect for arrangements that feel collected rather than contrived.
This annual phlox is fast to flower and wonderfully generous, producing abundant clusters that work just as beautifully in bouquets as they do tucked into a garden border. The fragrance is an unexpected bonus. A soft blend of lilac and melon that makes cutting from the garden feel like a small luxury. It is an ideal solution for gardeners who want beauty, scent, and reliability without complicated care.
Compact and easy to grow, ‘Cherry Caramel’ fills that sweet spot between filler and focal, adding richness and softness wherever it lands.
Because the most memorable flowers appeal to more than just the eye.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors about 4 weeks before last frost, then transplant outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Phlox can also be direct-seeded into the garden after frost risk has passed. Plants establish quickly and begin flowering early in the season.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest stems when just a few flowers are open, no more than half on each cluster. Petals are tender, so handle with care during cutting and arranging. Expect a vase life of approximately 5 to 7 days.
A softly scented favourite that brings warmth and old-soul beauty to garden and vase alike.
