Hi this phlox grows in some shade, is vigorous, does not get mildew, gradually spreads, blooms for a long time, is just coming up now, I guess it is grows to about 4' tall. It seems unusual in that the petals are quite pointed unlike many phlox I see on the web. I am sorry I don't know why the photo shows up sideways, it does not do that when I open it on my computer, but does look like that in the folder when I go to select it for uploading a file.
