There are a lot of phlox in this world, but 'Coral Creme Drop' wasn't created equal. "Photoshop not required" The pink on this flower simply wows. It stops you in your tracks and forces you to admire. At 2 ft. tall With large panicles of coral pink flowers at the end of strong green stems it can provide a showstopper or blending flower for any garden and is a great midsized plant. Paired with lighter pinks or whites 'Coral Creme Drop' will stand out. I don't know how, but the color of this plant blends purples, oranges, and pinks into one eye catching, show stopping flower.
Pollinators adore tall garden phlox with hummingbirds, sphinx moths and butterflies queuing up to take a drink of the fragrant candy-like nectar. 'Coral Creme Drop' also supports a variety of colors and pairs well with purple, lighter pinks and even mixed oranges as a foundation planting or garden bed. Blooming from mid to late summer you will delight in the color, fragrance and activity around 'Coral Creme Drop' all summer long.
The Candy Store® series of phlox was bred for outstanding color and resistance to powdery mildew. If you've grown tall garden phlox before, you know how wonderful it is to see phlox emerge and bloom, only to see them become covered white mildew. Candy Store® stands up to this problem as good as any phlox we've grown.

Phlox Paniculata Coral Creme Drop
Tall garden phlox as a plant takes and average amount of care. It grows well when planted in a mulched bed with good well-drained soil and benefits from deadheading. Phlox grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It will thrive with fertilizing every other month and consistant moisture levels. Overhead watering should be avoided since some varieties of phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew. This can be avoided or diminished by providing ample air circulation around the plants and by thinning them out periodically. Deadheading will prolong bloom time and prevent self-seeding.
