Thanks,
As per Mike, Virginia.

We have about 30 different garden phlox cultivars at present.
Personally, I almost never buy plants on line, but am fortunate to live within easy driving range of a large number of garden centres.
I also visit garden centres when away, for instance, got our first 'Wendy House' in the excellent garden centre in Ambleside, West Vancouver.
That was while visiting relatives and the plants came back in my carry-on bag.

Have been on the look-out for garden phlox notably for the last 15 years; explains the considerable variety we have.

Am sure, however, location (and efficiency!) requires many gardeners to buy their plants on-line.

Picture below: this Sept 10; towards the end of the second bloom (I've already been cutting down that 'Wendy House' (left)).
As you'd likely know the first blooms of the garden phlox are more spectacular than the second.
