purple kiss phlox vs purple flame

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

Just wondering if others have information on how purple their "purple kiss" phlox is. I have "purple flame" and I like it very much, but it is a rather red purple. I had "Nicky" but found that one even more red a purple than "purple flame" so I gave it away. Is "purple kiss" a more blue shade of purple than "flame"? Also does it stay short? Anyone try "smokey"?

Mary, I can't answer your question, only that I had gotten 'Blue Flame' in the spring as a tiny plug for only 85 cents and it certainly was a nice color and long blooming!

I did snap a photo back in August, though cable connection to camera is damaged and can't upload pics to my laptop. The below link displays the color very accurately.
