Fashionably Early Flamingo - Tall Phlox

Fashionably Early Flamingo is a hybrid phlox with light lavender-pink flowers that fade toward pale lavender and show a small purple eye. Its flowers begin in late spring or early summer and repeat into mid-fall when deadheaded. Walters Gardens lists the named selection as PP29911; the patent description records its fragrant flowers, clean foliage, and repeat bloom, while [the plant profile](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=PHLFF) gives garden dimensions and care information. ## Garden placement This upright perennial reaches about 30–36 inches tall and spreads about 26–30 inches. Place it in the middle or back of a border, in full sun or part shade. Rich, moist soil and steady moisture support flowering; its longer bloom and pollinator value suit a mixed perennial planting or cutting garden. ## Maintenance Water consistently, avoid wetting the foliage when possible, and allow space for good air movement. Deadhead spent flower heads to encourage repeat flowering into fall and reduce self-seeding. Inspect leaves periodically and remove damaged growth as needed.
