Opening Act Ultrapink Hybrid Phlox

Turn up the color dial with Proven Winners® Opening Act Ultrapink Hybrid Phlox PP#32,093 (Phlox hybrid 'Opening Act Ultrapink')! This bold perennial explodes with ultra-bright, hot pink blooms that glow like neon in the summer sun. Sweetly fragrant, mildew-resistant, and reblooming, it fills the garden with long-lasting color from early summer through mid-summer, and again with a second flush if deadheaded to encourage rebloom.

As a hybrid, Ultrapink combines the best traits of its Phlox parents - compact size, sturdy stems, excellent foliage, and extended flowering. Its green lance-shaped leaves form a dense, mounded clump that looks fresh all season long!

Phlox species are native to North America, where they've long symbolized harmony and unity in gardens. This modern hybrid, part of the Polemoniaceae family, carries forward that tradition while offering superior disease resistance and reblooming power!
