Sharon,

I would have loved to have gotten in on that sale for Phlox. I just love them too. I cut one of my Bright Eyes Phlox and put it in a vase and it is so fragrant as is the David. My neighbor gave me 3 sprigs of the David last Fall and I did not expect it to do much the first year but it has really taken off and the second flush of blooms was as pretty as the first. It is tough and vigorous and I have had no problems with mildew so far . My neighbor gave me two more Phlox from her yard a few days ago and I have already planted those. Don't forget to post pictures of your new ones as we will all enjoy them too!!!! For Louisville this year Lowe's has really had great plants--that are as good a quality as the nurseries. I do shop at HD too but they are not as good a quality usually as Lowe's. Here is a picture of one Indian Summer I purchased from Lowes for $2.50.
