Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of my earliest loves, annual Drummond's phlox holds its large candelabra blooms strongly upright, all the better to appreciate its lovely colors and patterns. Or in this case its lipstick red flower clusters. Long blooming, thriving with little care, it does best in an airy spot in fertile, well-drained soil.
