An early bloomer, Flamingo brings its light lavender-pink flowers to the party weeks earlier than other Phlox. It is far more disease resistant and sturdy stemmed than the paniculatas making sure not to ruin its fine floral display with powdery mildew and flopping onto the ground. At 3-4’ tall, its slowly spreading habit will make a clump that puts off more and more of these tall plumes each year.
