?Fragrant Summer Phlox?, one of those wonderful ?backbone? plants, and this one is mildew-resistant! with pink-dark-eyed flowers on 3-4' stems; beautiful in border of bouquet. S/M PP10379
A recently introduced sturdy and highly mildew-resistant phlox created from a cross between 'Eva Cullum' and 'David'. A soft lilac-pink, with pale blazing and a slight rose eye. Developed by Blooms of Bressingham. The tone is soft and easy, rather like an old-fashioned semi-wild phlox.
