Phlox divaricata 'Clouds of Perfume' reviews
Reviewed 9th August 2019 by Peta Phlox clouds of perfume plants have not done well at all, very spindly with little new growth, they didn't flower, the other plants on this order are great. |
Reviewed 1st August 2019 by Karen I thought the Phlox 'Clouds of Perfume' was very pretty so I ordered the plant for my mum's birthday. There was no problems at all with post or packaging. The plant was labelled 'Clouds of Perfume' but it grew into totally different plant. My mum has taken photo of this different plant. It is a bit disappointing. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Lindsay This was a lovely plant, it blossomed through the spring and is still very much in place. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Gina Very pretty when it was out, but went over quickly quite early in the season |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Tarja The plant must have died over winter, no sign of it. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Sue Flowered really well. Very happy with these. Next year will be the test. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Sheryl Since planting they flowered within a few weeks, flowering continuously for around 3 months, cut back since and they look very happy |
