Making its debut this year is Luminary Sunset Coral tall garden phlox. I grew it last year as part of Proven Winners' garden writer trial program and fell madly in love with it. The color is electrifying in the garden — so thrilling in fact, that I just had to add more plants this year.
For whatever reason, last year I decided to plant them around a windmill palm in combination with Heart to Heart to Bottle Rocket caladiums and the chartreuse Royal Hawaiian Maui Gold elephant ears. There is simply no rhyme or reason to do such a combination, but I did and I loved it.
This year I added more of the phlox to the area and decided to try Heart to Heart Clowning Around as caladium partners along with the elephant ears and palm tree. The partnership was everything I dreamed. The coral colors in the caladium leaves matched perfectly.
