'Opening Act Ultrapink' Hybrid Phlox

Opening Act Ultrapink is a hybrid garden phlox with vivid rose-pink flowers and glossy, dark-green foliage. It begins flowering in early summer and can rebloom after a light shear. The [Walters Gardens plant profile](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=PHLOU) identifies it as an Opening Act selection, describes slow stolon spread, and lists a mature size of 22–28 inches tall by 32–36 inches wide. Site it in full sun, with part shade tolerated, and provide good air circulation. Average to fertile soil and steady moisture suit this perennial; its foliage has resistance to powdery mildew and disease. Use it in a sunny border, mass planting, cut-flower area, or roomy container, where the flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. ## Maintenance Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry slightly before the next irrigation; avoid overhead watering. Remove spent flower stems or lightly shear after the first flush if you want to encourage rebloom. Keep the planting open to air and thin spreading stolons only when they reach beyond the intended bed.
