I had one for years until someone zealously weeded it out. 
I will forward this to Phyllis Gustafson.  She may know someone in Medford that 
still has it if she doesn't.

I'd love  yellow phlox..but betting not hardy for me.



I suspect that was one reason for their disappearance from horticulture; the 
other being difficulty of propagation. The late Homer Hill, of Arvada, 
Colorado, propagated them by root cuttings.
I had ‘Mary Maslin’ in the garden here for many years; it died last winter. 
Still have ‘Arroyito’, Homer’s introduction, which is probably a cross 
between ‘Arroyo’ and Phlox subulata. P. subulata isn’t winter hardy in my 
garden, but ‘Arroyito’ is. It has no above-ground growth in the winter.
