Do you mind sharing if you purchase your phlox plants from a specific supplier or mail order or local nursery? I have a few that a friend has given me but she doesn't know the names of them. I have one that I got from a plant swap back in 2009 or 2010 and it hasn't done well so I plan to move it to another location and see if that will help.Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-79407580797443586582011-01-21T11:05:21.134-06:002011-01-21T11:05:21.134-06:00Your phlox are really lovely.

I am always adding more every year.After seeing your Franz Schubert last summer I had to get a couple this fall to plant with my purple Nicky Phlox. Your Volcano is another beauty. Does it have a great fragrance? You will just have to get a Starfire one to add to your Bubblegum. LOL!
