Tigress Phlox 
Because of the bright showy colors and their long blooming period, the 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 offer here only those 
of recent introduction that we know will well repay our customers for the little 
care they require, giving special attention to varieties that hold their color well. 
They average 2 to 3 feet in height and bloom from June to October.
