Jo Ann, I'm not so certain that the Drumsticks do that too (actually, I hope they do!) This one is one of the big tall ones, with about a softball-sized bloom. I don't like the foliage on this one so much, but it's pretty close to the ground so it hides easily. I'll grab a pic later.

Whoops!

Sorry, Polly - I've decided to change my avatar to my current foster-children. The one you see now is Kipper, who was just adopted by a lovely lady in Norwalk, Connecticut. There is already another baby in the pike.

I have my phox in a perennial border. Actually it is mostly a daylily border but it has two islands of shrubs, lots and lots of lilies and bulbs. A row of different phoxes are at the back of one section of daylilies.

I don't know. There are tags but they are buried under a pile of mulch this early in the year. I will try and find them later.

Jo Ann - how did your allium and phlox do?

Here are two photos I find so tempting:

Hmmmm.
The alliums ( Purple Sensation ) I have bloom early in spring with the TBI's
Let me check my files to see if I have pix of the drumsticks and phlox.
I planted drums to go with lilies but found a pix with phlox.
