Description:

Phlox is an old-fashioned favorite!  Gardens, both old and new, can benefit from their brilliant colors during the summer months.   This is a class of flowers unsurpassed with its new colors, larger sizes and mildew resistance.

Diseases: Powdery mildew, root rot
Good Companion Plants: Coneflower, Daylily, Perennial Salvia, Shasta Daisy
