Nursery contributed plant descriptions

No mystery, this is a dwarf white phlox. It is respectably floriferous, and is quite handy for planting in front of and around taller phlox. But the greatest feature may be its early blooming - in our gardens this past year it got cracking around the 4th of July, a full two weeks before virtually any other P.paniculata! Because of this early start, and the compact size, room should be made for it in any respectable phlox border.
