Butonik Phlox

This unusual yet mesmerizing phlox stays in bud form throughout its bloom, opening only at the last moment. Due to its extremely long flowering period, Butonik is a favourite with passing pollinators and bouquet enthusiasts. Adorned with substantial flower clusters of deep pink buds, its striking colour and architectural form make it an excellent choice for both border plantings and cutting gardens. For maximum visual impact, plant in clusters. Butonik, which means “bud” in Russian, was developed in that country by a phlox enthusiast.
