Hardy Named Phlox 
Perennial Phlox succeeds in almost any soil, but of course extra care in preparing and enriching 
the soil and watering plants in dry weather will result in better plants and flowers. If the first spikes 
of bloom, which usually appear in July and August, are removed as soon as over, the plants will 
produce a second supply of flowers, continuing the display until late in the autumn. Perfectly hardy. 
We offer only hardy field grown plants that will give satisfaction wherever planted.
