Phlox 'Fort Hill'
Prolific cascading groundcover phlox with rich pink flowers in early summer; great plant amongst rocks, bedding.
The best white persicaria we have tried, as with Taurus and others, these will flower in summer but good much and soil fertility will ensure their best performance. Waist high or fraction higher in moister conditions, basal foliage with drifts of vertical white spikes. We like to plant these in clumped groups of 5 or 9 at 25cm spacings for best effect.
