Jamesbrittenia 'Jammin’ Coral'

South African phlox

Product Image
Bright coral-pink blooms light up the garden with a real burst of summer colour, lifting pots and borders with ease. Free-flowering through the warmer months, Jamesbrittenia 'Jammin’ Coral' produces a steady show of neon pink petals with striking yellow centres, creating a bold, cheerful contrast that keeps going without the need for deadheading.

It forms a neat, bushy habit that works brilliantly in containers, hanging baskets and at the front of sunny borders, where its compact shape stays tidy and full. Happy in full sun and well-drained soil or compost, it copes well with heat and dry spells, making it a reliable choice for low-maintenance summer displays.

With strong natural disease resistance and a self-cleaning nature, it keeps looking fresh with very little effort, making it an easy win for bright, long-lasting colour outdoors.

How to care for Jamesbrittenia Jammin’ Coral:

Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.

Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.

To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
