Comments
Year 1
Hope they will be taller next year; We had extremely hot and dry summer. It should overwinter no problem. I await; Florist enjoyed all of the phlox varieties; No flowers as of September 30. This variety looks promising. We have another white variety that has not bloomed in 2 years (Watsonville, CA). This one looks better. Plants in California did not flower in the first year.
Year 2
Excellent vase life, 7-10 days. Ships well if cut with one bloom open; “A keeper” good white; Very unusual to lose phlox over winter.
