    I have not been able to capture the 'true' colour of this phlox with the camera, in pictures it looks more pink than it actually appears in the garden. The true colour is tinged more towards a deep apricot tone and definitely shows in the range of 'coral' that's in its name. The foliage is a deep green, and the contrast is just striking.
