Description
The Hybrid Phlox in the Fashionably Early series heralds the arrival of summer blooms sooner than traditional Tall Garden Phlox varieties, offering a head start of 2-3 weeks. These plants, exemplified by 'Fashionably Early Flamingo', boast not only early flowering but also exceptional resistance to mildew, featuring robust, leather-like leaves and a spreading growth habit that distinguishes them from the more clustered Phlox paniculata types.
'Fashionably Early Flamingo' stands tall and proud, making it an ideal choice for the mid to back sections of garden borders. Its stature is matched by an extended blooming period, with delicate panicles of light lavender pink flowers gracing the garden from early summer well into midsummer, occasionally offering a delightful encore in the fall. Complementing its profusion of blooms is a backdrop of broad, dense, emerald-green foliage that remains visually appealing throughout the growing season.
