Phlox paniculata Candy Store® 'Bubblegum Pink'

Phlox Candy Store® 'Bubblegum Pink' is a unique introduction to the perennial world.  This plant bred in the Netherlands, with US native parentage, has a versatile, short stature, radiant blooms, and great mildew tolerance.   A useful introduction to the mid-border where the plants are loved by butterflies and the occasional hummingbird.  These plants can be grown in containers but their performance is better when planted in the ground.  Beautiful scent lingers during those warm summer evenings.  Some drought tolerance when established but performs best in evenly moist soils.
