It blooms from midsummer and reblooms well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its close relatives, it resists powdery mildew and keeps its dark green leaves clean into fall, even in humid Michigan summers. At 24 to 30 inches, it suits the middle of the border. The fragrant flowers cut well and attract butterflies and bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDome-shaped panicles are made of flat, five-petaled flowers about 1 inch across in soft pink, each marked with a deep pink center ringed in white. The panicles top sturdy, upright stems. Leaves are lance-shaped, dark green and arranged in pairs up the stems. The plant forms an upright clump about 24 to 30 inches tall and 20 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom the flower heads create a soft blush-pink cover over dark foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhlox enjoys sun like lavender but wants richer soil and more regular water, so plant it in an adjacent cottage border, where its blush-pink flowers pick up as the first lavender bloom winds down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to fertile soil kept evenly moist; full sun and good air flow give the most flowers and the healthiest leaves.
