Not sure---$12 is a bit much for an impulse buy.
Will keep an eye on it, though.

Jill--you won't believe it---but Felicia's Phlox is now close to 5' tall.!!!
I have it in a low tomato cage just to keep it all upright.
There are buds showing--can't wait to see it bloom.

Only one of mine is already in full bloom. The purple one in my "Kitchen-side-bed".
There should be at least 4 more blooming--whenever they are ready.

I am anxious to see if the White PHlox "David" took root well enough to grow and bloom.
It was only ONE stem--and it was in front of my regular Phlox. Bad location....
So--i dug it up and moved it over a little bit.
I can't tell--everything in this S. bed is lost in a jungle of Iris leaves and a peony leaves--
bloomed our DL's--and other Phlox foliage all around. I can't even set a foot in there to weed!

I miss NOT having a Persian Shield--never got around to buying one.

1--from last year--this is the Phlox in my kitchen-side bed....now in full bloom.
