  • Description

  • Notes

Garden phlox bloom mid to late summer, providing a cool pallet during the hottest summer months. The plants form upright clumps with narrow, lance-like foliage in deep green. Flowers appear in clusters at the tips of the branches, and come in colors from white through every pink imaginable, and some violets and lavenders. Many have prominent eyes that give the flowers a distinctive appearance. Some are fragrant. They grow about 12 to 24 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide, depending on variety. 'Wilhelm Kesselring' has magenta-pink flowers with bright white eyes.
