Bloom begins a month earlier than for garden phlox, at the beginning of June. Flowers are a soft clear baby-blanket pink. Covers itself in bloom for three weeks, then repeat blooms lightly till October.
Highly adaptable as to soil type and pH. Stems do not lodge.
Space these 12-18" apart.
Sterile. Most easily propagated by dividing the root ball in early spring. Stem cuttings can be rooted.
