What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Phlox Peppermint Twist for its stunning visual appeal, specifically the reliable pink and white candy cane striping that creates a high impact in borders. Initial satisfaction stems from receiving healthy, robust bare roots ready for planting. While most buyers achieve excellent bloom and consider the plant a worthwhile investment for its color payoff, a minority notes frustration with the standard establishment time required for bare roots. Successful growers strongly advocate for this specialty variety. Long term perception is slightly tempered by the need for typical Phlox maintenance, such as monitoring for mildew. Overall, the plant is highly recommended for those patient with the initial planting process.
