orange perfection phlox

I was pretty excited to find this little bag of 3 roots of orange perfection phlox at my local Wal*mart.

I've ordered it twice during the past twenty years, but it has never bloomed for me. I am thinking of planting these roots in the half whiskey barrels on the deck so I can make sure they get extra attention.

I understand the blooms on this are sometimes more pink than orange. I hope mine turns out to be orange. I've got enough pink phlox.

Does anybody grow this?
What color are your blooms?

Sliced bananas, honey and sunflower seeds. YUM!
