Notes
'Eva Cullum' garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eva Cullum') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. Fragrant pink flowers with dark pink eyes open from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Deer tend to pass it by. The blooms draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Bobo hydrangea.
