    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very popular cultivar of recent vintage. The petals are bluish-lavender shading into a large cream eye, each outlined with a tiny cream edge. Like most of the blue-toned phlox, it has a noticeable sweet fragrance. One of the best in this color scheme, and it adds a welcome cooling effect to any flower border.
