Notes
'Bubblegum Pink' garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Bubblegum Pink') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant blooms open in early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It forms a clumping mound that stays 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Bee balm, Black-eyed Susan, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
