Running With Scissors phlox is a Chicagoland Grows® selection. Chicagoland Grows® is a plant introduction partnership of the 91½ûÂþ, the Morton Arboretum and the Ornamental Growers Association of Northern Illinois formed to promote plant cultivars that perform well in northern Illinois. This variety was developed at the 91½ûÂþ; it has proven to be a super-charged moss phlox in terms of flower power, vigor, and durability. The 1-inch-wide, light to medium-violet flowers—large for a moss phlox—are produced for four to six weeks.
