Becky Towe is a brightly variegated and vigorous Phlox variety. The leaves display a broad stable margin of golden yellow (becoming paler later in the year). The flowers are fresh salmon carmine pink and are scented. Becky Towe also displays improved mildew-resistance when compared to other cultivars.

Becky Towe makes an excellent container specimen or can be used to great effect in the border.

Phlox Becky Towe has already become established on both sides of the Atlantic. It should be finished in 1.5 litre to 3 litre pots for impulse sales.
