Phlox plant named ‘Pink Minuet’

Abstract

A unique cultivar of Hybrid Spring Phlox named Phlox ‘Pink Minuet’ characterized by multi-stemmed, heavily branched, compact, mounded, winter-hardy habit, producing short, bright glossy-green, awl-shaped leaves. Numerous flowers begin in late-April for three weeks on moderately-branched peduncles, nearly completely covering the plant in peak season. Flowers sporadically for four or five weeks later in the season. Petals are rosy-pink with two small striae marks in the center eye of dark-purple. Petal apices are shallowly notched. Foliage stays clean and resists mildew, and the new plant is especially suitable as a potted plant and in the garden as a specimen or en masse.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of  Phlox  plant named ‘Pink Minuet’ as herein described and illustrated.
