Description
Petite yet perfectly poised, Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' is proof that great style doesn’t need stature. Rising only 20cm tall, this charming dwarf phlox forms a compact cushion of fresh green foliage before bursting into a profusion of rosy-pink blooms, each adorned with a crisp white eye. The effect is as if twilight has been brushed with watercolour—soft, glowing, and utterly irresistible. Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' is ideal for containers, edging paths or dotting through a rock garden, where its generous flowering habit and neat form add polish without pretension. It’s the kind of plant that makes any small space feel considered and complete, effortlessly blending prettiness with poise.
With a long blooming season stretching through summer, Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' offers weeks of gentle colour and a welcome invitation to pollinators. It thrives in full sun or dappled shade, asking little more than regular watering and an occasional trim to keep it at its best. Pair Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' with silvery foliage, miniature grasses or cool-hued salvias for a refined, evening-garden palette that glows in the fading light. Whether in a rustic pot or a modern planter, this dwarf phlox is a quietly stylish companion—neat, nurturing, and reliably radiant.

Useful information
-
Soak the Phlox 'Flatscreen Dusk' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Dwarf phlox" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
