    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Again, a Phlox species that's had many wonderful cultivars named over the years. We provide the straight and not so variable species with early Summer blooming, deep pink flowers. I don't know where people have discovered all the different colors, ranging from pure white to purple, because all the colonies that I've cruised here in the mountains are identically colored. It spreads along the ground by stolons and plants its little rosettes here and there. Flowers stems are about 6" to 8" tall.
