Compact, care-free, and long-blooming, Phlox ‘Forever Pink’ is destined to be a popular garden plant. The 1-inch-wide, purplish-pink flowers cover the plants for three weeks in June, at a time when the spring moss Phlox are all through blooming, and the summer-flowering Phlox maculata and Phlox paniculata have yet to start blooming. As a bonus, the plants will repeat-bloom well into October, truly living up to its name of "forever pink." The plants are dense and clump-forming, and remain upright all season, unlike many of the taller Phlox. The mildew-free, strong yellowish-green foliage is attractive all summer and into autumn.

Phlox ‘Forever Pink’ prefers a moist, well-drained soil, but it is drought tolerant once established. We recommend a very simple maintenance of removing the spent inflorescences after the initial peak bloom, and shearing the plants to the basal evergreen foliage either in late autumn or early spring. Otherwise, plants never need staking or dividing.
