Help me decide which garden phlox to add? I'm on the border of zone 7b and 8a in northern part of South Carolina. Climate here is different from what you normally think as Southern because we are at higher elevation near the mountains. Still quite warm but winters can have some freezes lasting for a day or so.
Yet I can usually overwinter brugmansia, dahlia and even dipladenia outdoors.
The ony phlox I have is Minnie Pearl, which is white. I'd like to get something red/bright pink and also maybe a lavender like Katherine. My main concern is mildew resistance. Anyone have suggestions?
