Protected Series: PEACOCK
Zone: 4PEACOCK™ CHERRY RED GARDEN PHLOX
Phlox paniculata Peacock™ Cherry Red is a standout member of the compact Peacock™ series, prized for its ability to deliver massive floral impact on a more manageable, mid-sized plant. It produces dense, rounded clusters of intensely vibrant, cherry-red flowers that emit a soft, sweet fragrance throughout the mid-to-late summer months. Unlike some taller garden phlox that can become leggy, Peacock™ Cherry Red maintains a sturdy, upright habit with lush green foliage that provides a clean, professional backdrop for its brilliant blooms. It is an excellent choice for front-of-border placements or smaller garden beds where high-intensity color is needed without the risk of the plants flopping over.
To ensure Peacock™ Cherry Red remains a healthy focal point; it should be planted in a sunny location that receives at least six hours of direct light to support its heavy flowering. It thrives in rich, organic soil that is consistently moist but well-drained, making regular watering essential during the peak of summer heat. One of the primary advantages of the Peacock™ series is its enhanced resistance to powdery mildew but providing good air circulation and watering at the soil level rather than over the leaves will further protect its dark green foliage.
