Just like the pink and orange hues that light up the sky during a sunset, 'Sunset Coral' lights up the landscape. Coral pink flowers have an orange tinge; the orange color is especially noticeable when compared with true pink Phlox paniculata varieties. This variety grows to a height and width of 30-32 inches and can be planted in full to partial sun. It is a perfect plant for filling out the middle of the border in the sunny garden.
Phlox is unequaled for its showy blooms over a long period in summer. Phlox grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It will thrive with fertilizing every other month. Deadheading will prolong bloom time.
Companion Plants: Hemerocallis (Daylily), Leucanthemum (Shasta Daisy), Echinacea (Coneflower)
