Description

This hybrid phlox blooms 2-3 weeks earlier than the typical tall garden phlox (Phlox paniculata). Pale lavender flowers with a lavender pink eye appear from early summer well into midsummer with some rebloom in fall. Narrow, spiky, dark green foliage stays beautiful all season. Each member of the Fashionably Early series has exceptional mildew resistance, thick leathery leaves, and a stoloniferous habit (as opposed to the tightly clumping P. paniculata types). to 32" tall and 30" wide.
