hardy Phlox are counted among the most highly prized perennials Enormous 
heads of brilliant flowers produced on strong erect stems The older varieties 
with small flowers show good color when they first open, but usually fade 
within a short time. We have discarded all of the common varieties and

rieties that hold their color well. They average 2 to 3 feet in height and
