A unique cultivar of Hybrid Spring Phlox named Phlox ‘Eye Candy’ characterized by multi-stemmed compact habit, winter-hardy, spreading plant with short, bright glossy-green, awl-shaped leaves. Flowering begins in mid-April and continuing for nearly five weeks on lightly branched peduncles and completely cover the plant in peak season. Petals are light lavender-pink with a large pronounced eye of dark wine purple. Petal apices are shallowly notched. Foliage stays clean and resists mildew, and the new plant is especially suitable for the landscape as a potted plant and in the garden as a specimen or en masse.
