Descriptive Features: A standout member of the Candy Store® series, bred for exceptional color impact and outstanding resistance to powdery mildew — considered among the most mildew-resistant garden phlox available. Forms a compact, dense, well-branched clump of medium green foliage, with dark stems and buds that contrast beautifully against the blooms. Cone-shaped clusters of deep salmon-coral flowers, each accented with a bright fuchsia-pink eye, appear atop sturdy stems from midsummer through early fall — a long bloom season packed with sweet, candy-like fragrance. Rich in nectar, drawing hummingbirds, butterflies, and sphinx moths in abundance. Its compact size and full, tidy habit make it especially well suited to smaller gardens, containers, and courtyard plantings, in addition to the middle of mixed borders. Prefers full sun to light shade with good air circulation and average to well-drained soil. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, with a Mt. Cuba Center recommendation for garden performance.
