I have had great luck with Minnie Pearl Phlox.

Phlox \'Minnie Pearl\' begins flowering in mid-to-late April on 1\' tall spikes...months earlier than other Phlox. The stalks are laden with glossy-green foliage and topped with large, pure white flowers. Phlox \'Minnie Pearl\' makes a 2\' wide patch in 3 years.
It is a cross between phlox maculate and Phlox glaberrima, they think.
It is a reliable grower, but it does not like a dry area. A patch I had in a dry area just disappeared.
I wanted more, but the only grower, where I found it available, is Fieldstone Gardens, Massachusetts, where I ordered more for this year\'s garden. I have ordered from them and their plants are good. They have such a variety of plants, take a look.
