Shortwood Phlox

A bit disappointing, the first year I planted this it succumbed to powdery mildew and rust. Overall though it looks like it has some potential as medium sized border Phlox.

Propagation
Divide clumps early in the spring, by softwood cuttings in mid-summer or by root cuttings after the plant has finished flowering. Root cuttings collected in the autumn and cut into 5 cm lengths and place horizontally in flats barley covering the top. Water and place in a cold frame until growth appears and then pot individually.
