Large heads of fragrant flamingo-pink flowers with a soft pink center atop 26? stems. ZONE 4
Flamingo' has florets of a rich saturated pink, with clearly defined fuchsia eyes. It is indeed the color you imagine flamingos to be, and it manages somehow to be distinct from all the other pink phlox. It is a fine strong grower, coming into full bloom in the late midseason. The origin is Peter zur Linden, in 1971.
