Why Annual Phlox is Perfect for Cutting & Wedding Work
Annual phlox (Phlox drummondii) is a hidden gem in the cut flower world, beloved by florists and wedding designers for its romantic charm and exceptional vase performance.
Unmatched Vase Life: These delicate-looking blooms are surprisingly sturdy, lasting 7-10 days in arrangements—making them reliable for wedding prep and events.
Versatile Color Palette: From the soft, ethereal tones of 'Isabellina' and 'Blushing Bride' to the vibrant 'Cherry Caramel' and whimsical 'Sugar Stars', phlox offers colors that complement any wedding theme—romantic pastels, bold statements, or dreamy neutrals.
Perfect Scale & Texture: The clustered flower heads (3-4 cm across) add delicate texture without overwhelming arrangements. They're ideal as filler flowers that steal the show, bridging the gap between focal blooms and greenery.
Garden-to-Vase Beauty: Their sweet fragrance and cottage garden charm bring an authentic, romantic feel to bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony installations—exactly what modern couples crave.
Cut-and-Come-Again: The more you harvest, the more they bloom throughout summer, making them incredibly productive for wedding season work.
Easy to Grow from Seed: Grown easily from seed, annual phlox adapts well to different growing systems — open field, garden beds, or flower farms. Its straightforward cultivation and consistent results make it a favourite among growers looking for reliable wedding-grade flowers from seed.
Whether you're creating bridal bouquets, boutonnières, or reception centerpieces, annual phlox delivers that effortless, garden-fresh elegance that makes weddings unforgettable.
