Hi Cyan:
If you crossed your H. fulva (?) with another species or a cultivar, you would
still have your H. fulva plants + some seeds that resulted from the cross.
You were just kidding about using food coloring, weren't you? <G>

Here is another suggestion: Leave the hems alone. Remove the phlox to another
location. In place of the phlox, plant some orange and yellow flowering
perennials.
Trollius, Geum, Papaver, Buddleja, "Celadine poppies", etc.
For early bloom, some of the species hostas are a very nice orange.  There are
also some mini daylilies with true orange flowers.
I think an orange and yellow border would be sensational.
You could use Lysimachia nummularia aurea as a yellow ground cover. Also, some
of the sedums have orange or yellow blooms.
You could edge the bed with some of the small, gold, sun-tolerant hostas.
