'Opening Act Romance' Hybrid Phlox

This hybrid phlox features a unique, low-wide, dome-like growth habit and glossy, dark green foliage that is highly resistant to powdery mildew. It blooms two to three weeks earlier than traditional tall garden phlox, producing fragrant lavender-pink flowers with a distinct white halo. Ideal for borders, mass plantings, or containers, it thrives in full sun to part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages reliable reblooming throughout the summer.
