Coral Crème Drop Phlox is a gorgeous long blooming variety of the most mildew-resistant Phlox to date. Growing to about 2′ x 2′ at maturity, when given full sun, the fragrant coral blooms with dark green leaves would make a perfect addition to any perennial garden. Although this plant doesn’t need anything special in terms of soil, for the best flower production it would be beneficial to apply fertilizer at the start of the season. Here at the nursery the two that are often suggested to customers are Bio-Tone for newly planted, or Flower-Tone for already established perennials.
Hakuro Nishiki Willow Tree doesn’t really mind what kind of soil you put it in, so long as it’s well drained and fertile. With a max height of 6′ and a spread of 7′ this tree can fit most anywhere.

You’ll want fertile well drained soils for the best results, and plenty of sunshine for this centerpiece. Best of all this variant is low maintenance, so you can sit back and enjoy it without much work.
