I'm busily expanding my inventory of 'Little Goldstar' Rudbeckia but ran into a problem when Monarda 'Petite Delight' went south before the 'Little' got blooming. So, I'm looking around for alternatives and came across this version of compact Phlox called 'Junior Dream'.

Standard Blurb

Junior Dream' PPAF produces bright purple flowers that are pleasantly fragrant. The leathery green foliage is mildew resistant. This plant is suitable for containers or the garden.
An improved form of Tall Garden Phlox, the Junior Series offers short, compact plants that bloom all summer long. Unlike most varieties, members of the Junior Series branch from the crown, resulting in shorter plants with a bushy habit. New flowers are produced continually on these lateral branches, resulting in an extra long season of bloom. 18-22" high.

Sounds like it would solve my 'combo' problem.

Anyone have any experience with this Series?

boday, you are kind of butting in front of me ;) as I had posted earlier this week looking for a compact long blooming phlox that is very much red.

So far it is "Red Flame" but I am having difficulty sourcing it
:(.

Here is a link that might be useful: compact RED phlox?

Honestly, didn't mean to intrude. I was looking for purple and came across the above. There is a 'Junior Dance' which is a coral pink but I didn't think it was much of a red.
