    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    'The King' is one of the very deepest purple phlox. It is a rich violet-purple, and closest to true purple that I have yet seen. The color is solid right to the eye. Compared to Phlox 'Nicky', this is a bluer purple, and the pips are a little larger. Overall, a fine grower.
