A bit of Natascha’s history via Ballyrobertgarden.com: “This ’90s, way cool, selection was discovered in 1989 as a sport of Phlox maculata ‘Omega’ by Luc Klinkhamer of Holland while visiting the Minsk Botanic Garden (former USSR). Tough as old nails, we never never never see any disease or mildew on this cultivar. It is named after Natascha Lunina, the garden curator at Minsk, and is topped in early summer with unbelievable bicolour flowers of pinkish purple-and-white.”
