SKU
30799
Velvety purple, fragrant flowers! The Early Start™ series blooms weeks earlier than most garden phlox, on compact, robust plants that resist mildew. Just like tall garden phlox, the long lasting blooms are loved by butterflies and perfect for cutting. Shorter stature is ideal for a sunny border front or in mixed containers.
