Plant Hybrid Garden Phlox 'Opening Act Ultrapink' (Phlox × 'Opening Act Ultrapink') when you want bright, early color and reliable summer performance in a modest footprint. You will get clusters of fluorescent rose-pink flowers above dark green, glossy foliage, with a neat upright habit that fits easily into mixed borders and cutting gardens.

Give your plant sun to part sun for best flowering and sturdy growth. Aim for consistently moist, well-drained soil and provide good air circulation, especially in humid climates. Once established, keep an eye on soil moisture during hot spells so the plant does not dry out for long periods.

At maturity, expect about 22-28 inches tall and roughly 32-36 inches wide. Use that size to plan spacing, and allow room for air movement between plants. This makes it easy to tuck into borders, plant in groups for a stronger color impact, or pair with other summer perennials for a long season of interest.

To extend the show, shear or deadhead spent flower clusters after the main flush. This encourages additional blooming later in the season and keeps the plant looking fresh. Cut a few stems for indoor bouquets when the flower clusters are just opening for the best vase life.

In late fall, you can cut back stems and remove old foliage to help start the next season clean. With regular watering, occasional feeding in average garden soil, and routine cleanup, you will have a colorful, fragrant perennial that performs year after year.
