Plant Brief

Phlox 'Peppermint Twist'
from Jan Verschoor
The Netherlands

Introduced 2007

A striking new paniculata hybrid Perennial Phlox, ‘Peppermint Twist’ is a real head-turner with its large clusters of pink and white striped flowers.

 

While the colouring has been around for some time in the form of P. maculata ‘Natascha’, ‘Peppermint Twist’s P. paniculata bloodline makes it a considerably stronger, healthier, more reliable plant.

Another twist in the tale, is that ‘Peppermint Twist’ is a very short Phlox, growing typically to just 40cm, making it more versatile for use in smaller gardens.

Spread: 14”/35cm

Hardiness: US zones 4-8

Blooms: July-September

Common name:

Perennial Phlox
