It opens in midsummer with intense color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foliage has stayed free of mildew into September in trials, so it looks clean well into fall. At 30 to 36 inches, it is a strong focal point for the middle of the border and a good cut flower. It reblooms, and pollinators visit steadily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, dome-shaped panicles are made of flat, five-petaled flowers larger than typical garden phlox, in bright true pink with a white starburst pattern radiating from the center. The panicles top sturdy, upright stems. Leaves are lance-shaped, medium to dark green and arranged in pairs up the stems. The plant forms an upright clump about 30 to 36 inches tall and 24 to 30 inches wide. At peak bloom vivid pink heads with white centers cover the top of the plant.\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 bright 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.
