Leslie,

You are right about the fragrance of David Phlox. I took ten cuttings last week and will root them and grow them in my basement under lights through the winter and plant them in my yard in the spring. I love David Phlox. The second flush of blooms for me this year were as full and lovely as the first. I take a few inside to just enjoy the fragrance. It is truly my favorite phlox, and the disease resistance is amazing too!!! And also, I feel that all gardens need some white to bring out the color in the gardens. Here is a picture of my new daylily bed that I made a couple of weeks ago. I transplanted two of my David Phlox from another bed on one day when the temps were high 90's and those tough plants never even went into shock and are still blooming in that new flower bed---amazing.
