Norah Leigh
Phlox ‘Norah Leigh’ has variegated foliage with pale pink pips.
Plant Description
One doesn’t plant Phlox ‘Norah Leigh’ for the flowers but for the broadly-variegated foliage, which adds a season-long bright spot in the border. For after all, phlox, while admirable in so many ways, has on the whole rather uninteresting foliage. Surprisingly good mildew resistance for a variegated phlox, and in good garden conditions there shouldn’t be any mildew at all. And even if there were, you wouldn’t notice it on these leaves. Flowers appear very late in the season, and are a pearly pinkish-white, with tiny pale-plum eyes and tubes. Untroubled by leaf scorch, which is unusual in many variegated plants. Any green stems that appear should be pulled out by the root. (This description is identical to that for ‘Darwin’s Choice’ because, as far as I can tell, the plants themselves are identical.)
This phlox description is here for reference only, and the plant is not currently available for mail-order shipping. However it may be available potted-up for on-site sales at the nursery, or with advance notice.
