Compact Bambini® Phlox Collection

Compact Bambini® Phlox Collection

Fragrant Blooms for Months

Compact Habits, Prolific Bloomers! With their extra-long flowering period, brightly coloured blooms and compact, bushy habit, the varieties in the Bambini® series are a breakthrough in phlox breeding. Depending on your local climate, these mildew-tolerant plants--which stand only 10" tall and spread equally wide--continually produce clusters of star-shaped, 1" blooms from early summer until well into fall. And not only do these fragrant attractors of butterflies, hummingbirds and bees flower longer than other phlox, they start blooming sooner, too!

Bambini® is a revolutionary compact phlox series that produces months of brightly coloured, star-shaped blooms!

  • Intense, fragrant and mildew-resistant blooms
  • Forms bushy, 10" mounds
  • Use in containers, borders or ground cover

This Collection includes 2 each of the following varieties:

  • Desire Bambini®: Its lustrous, purple flowers add intensity wherever Desire grows. Gorgeous by itself in a patio pot or in a mixed container, perennial border or as ground cover.

  • Candy Crush Bambini®: Bicoloured blooms resemble pink-and-whiteswirled lollipops. Candy Crush looks sweet anywhere but is ideal at the front of a garden border or as a tidy edging.

  • Primadonna Bambini®: Crank up the colour volume in your landscape! The showy, vivid pink blooms of Primadonna will astonish your visitors and make your neighbours envious.
