How romantically Springy! Why this easy-as-pie & sweetly scented hardy annual does not grow in everyone’s garden is a complete mystery to me! Color coordinated lavender, rose & white phlox-like flowers create a delightful 10” x 16” mass to look perfect with all Springtime bloomers. Enchanting massed & so harmoni ous with “Baby Blue Eyes” & pink poppies. Also wonderful as a bulb cover, edging or in containers. The first flower to bloom in my Spring garden. Reliably self-sows!
