One of the longest blooming
varieties of phlox we have ever seen. The flower heads of clear pink with darker pink eyes
begin opening two weeks earlier than others. Flowering starts around the end of June
and continues through most of September. Plants are quick to form clumps and grow to
around 30 inches in height. The stems are very sturdy and hold up very well in windy
areas. The fragrant flowers lure in butterflies all summer.
>> Eva Cullum was introduced to the gardening
world by the world famous plant breeders at Blooms of Bressingham who named the plant
after the former head of their retail department.

spring with a top dressing of compost and bone meal. Liquid feed with compost tea or
fish emulsion just as buds begin to form in midsummer. Remove spent flower heads to
prolong flowering. Keep plants well watered during hot dry spells.
