Description
PINK FLAME is a dwarf garden phlox cultivar which typically grows in an upright clump to only 12-16" tall. Fragrant, tubular flowers (1/2" to 1" diameter) with long corolla tubes and five flat petal-like lobes are deep pink with small darker pink eyes. Individual flowers are densely arranged in large, terminal, pyramidal clusters (panicles to 6" long) atop stiff, upright stems which seldom need staking. Long mid to late summer bloom sometimes extends into early fall. Narrow, opposite, pointed, lance-shaped leaves (to 5" long). Good fresh cut flower. This cultivar is part of the phlox Flame series of dwarf garden phlox cultivars recently introduced into commerce by Bartels Stek. Original cultivar name is 'Bartwelve', but the plant is being marketed under the name of PINK FLAME.
