Interesting Notes about Phlox:
This hybrid phlox is fantastic for creating a colorful addition to container gardens. It is an annual, but it can handle a light frost and the other extreme that summer brings. It can be grown in-ground and in containers, but because rabbits enjoy them like a salad bar it is best to use in containers especially when combined with other plants.
