    Although most perennial phlox don't last more than a season or two in my zone 7b North Georgia Mountains garden, I am pleased to have found this reblooming phlox. I planted it in November 2021. It bloomed in early May 2022, then I cut it back after the first flush finished, and it rebloomed in mid June. After colder than usual winter, this phlox emerged and bloomed beautifully in May 2023.
