    • Bought these as 4-inch cans and planted in early June. These were ROCK STARS! Planted in-ground in a Chicago courtyard where they received close to 6 hours of sun from 12-6pm. They were covered in blooms all year with no disease issues. Will definitely be buying more of these in the future. If you want the color and effect of supertunias but struggle to keep them consistently watered you might want to try this as an alternative.

    • I am enchanted with the Blueberry Intensia Phlox! I planted two of them in a large pot and they immediately became the prettiest part of the arrangement. The flowers are similar to tiny petunias in a rich purple. They make a fluffy mound of color and when planted near the edge, drape elegantly over the side. These are my new favorites!

    • A bit of a late bloomer, but it kept on coming and even resisted early frosts!

    • This is a great plant. We have a large long outdoor flower box, which face south and is great. It also withstood a very bad winter with temps in the 30's.

    • Amazing little hybrid. We live in the Hawaii of Canada and our weather is very hot in the summer in the Okanagan Valley. I will use this in place of Lobelia for sure.

    • What a beautiful color with incredible performance. I planted this in full sun with orange NonStop Begonias and it was an incredible display. This year I'm going to grow lots more of this Phlox. It is a Proven Winner!
