Ive had this plant for several years. It has never gotten very big, which it unusual since I have many other large phlox. The flowers are not very showy; deffinantly not one of my favorites. I will say that it does have lovely varigated foliage though.

I have had this plant return for a couple of seasons now. It never grows to reach much heighth, and though it flowers nicely, I am not greatly impressed by the performance of garden phlox in my Zone. I am on the borderline of Zone 8b/9a and all of my garden phlox seem to suffer from hot summers and warm winters. I am told by some DGers that visit my garden that having any success with garden phlox in this Zone is an achievement.
