Hardy Tall Phlox Orchid Yellow

In honor of our 175th Anniversary, we are introducing this unique and hardy tall phlox. Orchid Yellow is a fascinating, long-lasting variety that is sure to set your customers' gardens alight. An abundance of pretty, pink florets edged in vibrant, chartreuse green to yellow form full, 6-7" panicles that delight no matter where they appear. We suggest a grouping of Orchid Yellow in a sun-splashed border or mixed summer garden bed. Butterflies are highly attracted to the fragrant blooms, but passersby seem to enjoy the unique color palette. Not only is the coloration unusual, but the green hue aids in this phlox's long bloom period.
