Phlox Pixie 'twinkle'

Genus: Phlox.

Species: Phlox paniculata.

Wonderful star shaped flowers with bold and distinct coloring on smal 6-8 inch plants. I snipped off at the ground after frost to try and save some seed from them and now on l;ooking up find it classed perrenial. Perhaps it will sprout back from under the straw. Quick to bloom and continuing through my short summer, this is a wonder to see. I would scatter the plants to come up through the beds singley since the variety of color causes a mismash mass planted in my opinion.
