Add some eye-candy to your garden with this striking phlox and its unique, bicolor flowers reminiscent of peppermint candies. Known for its compact growth, extended blooming period, and excellent mildew resistance, ‘Natascha’ is a choice plant for seasoned and newbie gardeners alike. Originally discovered in 1989 by Dutch plantsman Luc Klinkhamer while visiting Russia’s Minsk Botanic Garden, this selection was named for the garden’s curator, Natascha Lunina. What a sweet treat!
