Professional Growing Information This variety of Garden Phlox has quickly become one of my favorites. Much more disease resistant than some other varieties of garden phlox and it is long blooming and the color is wonderful! A real standout! It is tall which is what I wanted so placement in your garden needs to account for this.

Who could possibly rate this a 1? It is absolutely fantastic. It has a gorgeous glow, long bloom period and is a must have!

Second year for this plant and wow a long time bloomer. It started blooming in July and still had a few blooms up until a freeze on October 3rd. Pleasantly surprised it did so well during our colder then normal summer while others flowers not so much. A very hardy plant for a 4b gardener.
