Phlox are like flower bouquets in your yard that you can enjoy for a long time. Cloudburst Phlox blooms in early summer, bursting with lavender-purple flowers that have pink eyes. You, hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies will love the color burst. But there's more – Cloudburst Phlox has a sweet fragrance while blooming.
Cloudburst Phlox is a tall cushion phlox, growing in a rounded, bouquet-like shape that is about 28 inches high and 42 inches around. Even after the flowers fade in late summer, the dark green foliage provides fall color. This container thriller also looks pretty framing a walkway or entryway or as a summer anchor of color in a garden bed. Cloudburst Phlox is hardy in cold and some heat and grows in regions 4 through 8.
Cloudburst Phlox Care
Plant Cloudburst Phlox in a spot or container that gets full sun. It does best in fertile soil that is neutral or slightly acidic. Give your phlox some slow-release fertilizer or organic plant food in late winter or early spring to support plant growth and flowering. The plants need regular watering and fairly moist soil.
Cloudburst Phlox Spacing
Cloudburst Phlox also makes a striking groundcover when you plant several near each other. Place them about 42 inches apart from the center of one plant to another so they will barely touch and cover the ground, but not crowd each other.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
