Phlox 'Nicky'
Phlox 'Nicky' is a striking perennial celebrated for its mid to late summer display of billowy masses of large, dark magenta-purple flowers. This garden phlox variety features stiff stems and fragrant blooms that are highly attractive to birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. With an upright, clumping habit, 'Nicky' serves beautifully in perennial borders or as a specimen plant. It boasts exceptional mildew resistance and is a North American native, thriving without extra fertilizers or watering once established. Deadheading encourages repeat blooming throughout the summer.
