We were amazed and delighted at the performance of this hybrid of two US natives, P. divaricata and P. paniculata. The result, from Holland's Verschoor Nursery, makes a sturdy, 18" upright clump, topped in midsummer with lovely, branched flower heads of light pink with a darker reddish center. Sellers listing this as white obviously haven't actually grown the plant. We have also found this to be much less mildew-prone than many of the earlier P. x arendsii types. We rank this a superb addition to the list of top garden phlox.
