Zaluzianskya or night phlox has deep pink buds opening to night-fragrant white flowers in multitudes for months. A Phoenix Perennials best seller.
Zaluzianskya ovata or night phlox is an intriguing little South African native that forms mounds of fuzzy leaves topped with deep pink buds opening to charming, white, fragrant flowers. During the days the flowers put forth a strange fragrance but at night they increase their olfactory output becoming a sweet, heady fragrance. Hardier in leaner, thinner soils.
