Hardy Tall Phlox Hercules
Hardy Tall Phlox Hercules
For gardeners and landscape pros that crave attention, we suggest offering them this amazing Hardy Tall Phlox! Hercules is unlike any other tall phlox we've seen, with huge panicles of bubblegum-pink florets accented with delicate white eyes and a breathtaking plant form that reaches up to 7 feet tall! What a magnificent display it would make at the back of a cutting garden, as a foundation planting or anchoring a mixed feature bed. Just one of these eye-popping (and delightfully fragrant) flower heads creates a full bouquet for indoor enjoyment.

Going Native
I'm trying to add more native flowers to the landscaping of the home we moved into in January 2021. I ordered Goliath purple phlox along with these Hercules pink late in the season, May 2021. They arrived in good shape, got planted immediately, and all came up and grew well for 1st year plants, getting maybe a foot tall. I think they got well established and should do great this coming season. None of the purple bloomed, but these pink did and they were even brighter pink than the photos with the description!
