Description
'Eva Cullum' is a garden phlox cultivar that typically grows in an upright clump to 2-3' tall. Fragrant, tubular flowers (1/2" to 1" diameter) with long corolla tubes and five flat petal-like lobes are pink with dark pink eyes. Individual flowers are densely arranged in large, terminal, pyramidal clusters (panicles to 6-12" long) in summer 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). An introduction of Blooms of Bressingham in England (Eva Cullum was a former department head at Bloom's Nursery).
