Phlox 'Fashionably Early Flamingo'
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking early and extended seasonal color.
This hybrid phlox skips the typical mid-summer wait, delivering its signature lilac-pink pompoms weeks ahead of the competition. While you sacrifice the late-season exclusivity of traditional varieties, you gain a remarkably resilient, mildew-resistant performer that reliably reblooms to anchor your garden well into autumn.
