Phlox

 

Garden Phlox is an easy to grow perennial, great for garden color, and marvelous for cutting. Plants grow in clumps with strong stems that bear simple lance-shaped leaves. These stems are topped with clusters of fragrant, showy, five-petaled flowers, each blossom rising from a narrow tube. In addition to the traditional stately varieties, we also offer the creeping variety of Phlox.  These varieties create a carpet of flowers in  spring and are ideal for steep banks and rock gardens.
