Phlox are hardy flowers, large with brilliant colors

Phlox is now blooming in my garden. It will bloom throughout the summer. It's one of my favorites because of its brilliant colors, size, and hardiness. We've had a drought for four weeks, but the flowers still are beautiful. 

Phlox paniculata 'Eva Cullum'
Clear pink flowers with a darker pink eye are displayed in large pyramidal panicles atop stiff, erect stems with abundant foliage. Especially remarkable when planted en masse, 'Eva Cullum' will bloom nearly all summer long. Its sweetly fragrant blossoms attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Phlox paniculata 'David'
 'David' was named the 2002 Perennial Plant of the Year by the Perennial Plant Association.  What sets this Phlox apart from other non-award winning Phlox is the exceptionally large flower heads of pure white and mildew resistant green foliage.

Phlox paniculata 'Andre'
Phlox paniculata "Andre" is a blue violet flowers atop green, mildew resistant foliage.
