Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Pixie Twinkle') - Description

Phlox paniculata 'Pixie Twinkle' is one of the new "Pixie" series of tall phlox. These improved varieties boast a compact habit, increased mildew resistance, and a very long bloom time. Clusters of fragrant, baby pink flowers with a darker pink center are produced in great abundance atop strong stems continuously from midsummer into fall. The dark green, leathery foliage is mildew resistant and compact in habit, growing only 15-20 inches tall. An excellent choice for a container plant!
