Luminary® 'Opalescence' Tall Garden Phlox

The delightfully scented flowers, which bloom for weeks from mid- to late-summer, attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies and are rich in nectar. They make beautiful fresh-cut flowers and are carried on stiff, tall stems with narrow, lance-shaped dark green leaves. Garden phlox that resists mildew well is powdery. Ideal for mass plantings, cottage gardens, and flower borders.
