A sturdy Phlox cultivar with a soft violet canopy. Overwatering can result in Mildew, but it does resist. I have a few big clumps of it (in good sun) around a dark red rose bush that I prune slightly higher, and the contrast is lovely--very romantic. Long bloomer.

This particular variety is quite pretty, not too tall, makes babies (close by) and is one recommended by Chicago Botanic Garden as very hardy in our Zone (5a-4B) and is also mildew-resistant!
