Phlox plant named ‘Cloudburst’

Abstract

A new and unique cultivar of garden Phlox named Phlox ‘Cloudburst’ multi-stemmed, compact, slowly-spreading habit with clean green, glossy, lanceolate leaves with exceptional powdery mildew resistance. Sweetly fragrant flowers of lavender-purple with bright pink eye zones are produced on multiple branched peduncles and cover from the top down to nearly the soil beginning the last week of May and continuing for about five weeks, and repeating through mid-fall. ‘Cloudburst’ especially suitable as a potted plant, for the garden, for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, and for cut flower arrangements.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of hybrid  Phlox  plant named  Phlox  ‘Cloudburst’, as herein described and illustrated.
