Pink Garden Phlox

Pink Garden Phlox

Perennial is planted as the backbone in my flower garden. The Purplish-pink flowers provide crisp, clean color all summer long and into fall and a fragrance that welcomes any garden visitor.

Pink Garden Phlox - Crisp, Clean Color Summer to Fall for Flower Gardens

The tall phlox stalks grow up to 5 feet tall in some varieties and the uncurling of the pink garden phlox flowers is a magical and beautiful sight. Tightly wound flowers open in an artist and graceful way, leading to an explosion of color.
