Phlox 'Junior Dream' is looking very good, has started blooming which would put it about a month ahead of the other phlox.

I ordered it as a replacement for Monarda 'Petite Delight' which blooms for a very short time here and then Basta - "See ya next year'.

So far it's right out of the pictures with color similar to 'Petite Delight'. It's a Paniculata so should have similar growth patterns except much shorter, about 16 inches.

Next year it'll replace the Monarda to go along with my Rudbeckia 'Little Goldstar'.
