| Just wondering -- What is the darkest color phlox? Are there varieties darker than Nicky? |

| There are many phloxes with the same colour as Nicky(real name Dusterlohe with two dots above u), all just as useless in full sun, as the flowers burn to dirty white in hot sun in a few minutes. The same applies to dark reds. One of the darker reds who does not burn in sun is Herzensbrecher. Kirchenfurst is relatively good too, but succeptible to some kind of 'black- dots- on- leaves-fungus'. Check the link below, it lists and shows all phloxes alphabetically. |

| Hmmmm. I just bought Nicky a couple hours ago, It's dark and I hope the fading isn't as bad as what you are seeing. Actually it was 90F when I bought it, full sun and the blooms are really nice. I had a weak moment and took it with me. I want to rip up most of my other plants and just plant phlox. |

| This is Phlox Border Gem, better than Nicky(it can stand on its own). Can you see the flower on the right side of the Helianthus? They all get like this on Nicky in full sun, that was one of the reasons why I sent it to the Big Garden in the skies(the other reason was flopping around all over the place after strong rain/wind).
