Including Phlox paniculata varieties David and David's Lavender
Phlox
Chockfull of oomph and charisma wherever they reside, even in a bouquet, these floriferous Phlox are enduring warm weather beacons, appreciating moist but well drained soil, deadheading, deep basal waterings and thinning to just four or six stalks.
Our two offerings are renowned not only for their lavish floral pageantry, but their unwavering mildew resistance as well.
Phlox paniculata ‘David’ 
Back in 1987, F. M. Mooberry of The Brandywine Conservancy had the keen eye to spot this outstanding, chance P. paniculata seedling and named it after her husband.
A quintessential summertime border plant, ‘David’ is highly prized for his lustrous greenery and huge, long blooming fragrant flowers. Shapely triangular trusses illuminated in classic white stand some 6 to 9 in. tall, and nearly as wide, on erect stems with narrow, dark green bristle-edged leaves that are arranged in pairs.
Blooms July–September. Size: 3-1/2'–4' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4. AVAILABLE EARLY SPRING 2012 Phlox paniculata ‘David’ (p-1344)
Each $6.75

Phlox paniculata ‘David’s Lavender’
Originating as a chance sport of the esteemed variety, ‘David’, this cultivar flaunts broad, 8 to 10 in. tall, tightly packed flower heads with enchanting lilac hues. ‘David’s Lavender’ is a sophisticated mainstay for the garden that beckons both gardeners and butterflies alike, especially when accompanied by Persicaria ‘Summer Dance’ and Centranthus ‘Coccineus’. (PPAF)
Blooms July–September. Size: 3-1/2'–4' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4. Phlox paniculata ‘David’s Lavender’ (p-1362)
