Shopping at a nursery in early June, a group of p. Peppermint Twists caught my eye and one other pot of phlox that had solid pink blooms that was also pretty. I asked a worker about the solid one because the tag in it said Peppermint Twist and she said it had reverted. I stood back and looked at the table of phlox then in a fit of rebellion, bought the reverted one. lol (full price)
I just really liked the color, a beautiful dark pink with sort of a coral tint. No regrets so far. It's been blooming for weeks.
I found on the web that Peppermint Twist is a sport of Candy Floss but when I looked up pictures of Candy Floss, it looked like more of a purplish pink.
When a plant reverts, is it always the same color? I wonder if it was something else and just had the wrong tag. What are your Peppermint Twists doing?
