Hardy Tall Phlox Nicky

Nikki has been growing in my zone 5 garden for 4 years now with no effort on my parts! We have hard winter's and Nikki doesn't care! She is very hardy, haven't seen any disease and blooms non stop for month's (I do dead head). Perfume scent is so intense when nearby, sweet and not obtrusive!

They delayed my order by over a month without even telling me, and keep requesting reviews when I haven't, and may not, receive the plant. Now it may be too late to find this plant elsewhere. Disappointed.

I ordered these in the summer, so they shipped in the fall. I live in Duluth, Minnesota, and received these plants in late October, when we often already have snow on the ground. I'd say that's a bit late for bare root, especially when it's coming from some nice, cozy nursery. Due to either the late shipping or a bad product, not a single one of these came up. The next year, I requested a new order, and that was processed easily. However, I now see my (re)order is backordered and set to ship in November. The bad product and/or lack of sensibility in shipping deserve 1 star.

I hate to give low scores. But I had to say something. i ordered 10 of phlox in spring, 5 purple and 5 red. I followed all the proper steps. But only 3 of them sprouted, and they are very weak, and hope next year it is still alive. seven of then neve came out. Maybe others got different results. But I just wanna lay the facts.

As I mentioned in a review last year, these arrived incredibly healthy and high quality. I put them individually in 2 quart Plastic garden pots. Because I ordered them so late in spring, I didn't get to see them flower although all made leaves. This winter, I left them in their pots (correction: forgot them in their pots) and they amazingly all overwintered and are shooting up with vigor right now! I bought bare roots from another company this fall and not only were they dry and not healthy looking, they did not overwinter in the ground. Amazing how these phlox did not freeze in the pots. I just ordered Goliath phlox from KVB and can't wait to finally see the Nickis flower this season!

These bare roots were amazingly big, healthy, moist and perfectly packed. I have always been skeptical about purchasing bare roots because of big box blunders where the root literally breaks off in my hands or is moldy. For the price, I am stunned at how nice these look. Nicest I've ever seen. I'm excited to see if the color is the same amethyst as another phlox I planted years ago. Even if it's not, I'm still super impressed by the beautiful quality of these roots.

My plant system arrived In good condition . They seemed to be very healthy . I will have to wait untill spring to see how they actually produce but, I'm very hopeful that the plants will survive the winter as I have them in the ground and have mulched the bed quite well . As of now I'm satisfied and will come back in the future for other

They are in and existing garden that need more height and color. I am looking forward to seeing them grow each year
