Phlox douglasii George Arends

A recent introduction with a neat spreading habit which is smothered in sugar pink flowers with a dark eye in April- May time. Growing tips. Alpine phlox are easy and colourful, to keep them in good shape feed with tomato fertiliser occasionally in Summer, and to keep them neat and healthy prune well in August. New growth will appear again in early spring. They are long lived and do benefit from pruning.
