I could of sworn I posted this but I can't find it, so I'll try again.

I love the smell of these, the fragrance comes in thru the windows when the breeze is just right.

says that Old Coot named John. He has never been able to grow them, except one small bunch of short white one in the front yard under a shade tree, he moved then from his mothers. When he re-did the new shade bed this SPRING, he moved them. BIG MISTAKE..They promptly died, he thinks. Hopes they may come back next year.

Than Old Coot named John saying PURTY........

When you started your phlox did you start from seed a single or multiple plants, and how long ago did you plant it?

It's beautiful, mine are about a quarter that size planted in mulch approximately 6 years ago from single stem plants.

Thanks,
Banana
