PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Rich, well-drained soils are best, but phlox is fairly adaptable.
Light: Grows best in full sun (or partial shade in the South)
Water: moderate -- tolerant of dry conditions once established but blooms last longest and continue uninterrupted when not stressed by drought.
Spacing: 15 - 18 inches
Fertilizing: Little required; apply a granular garden fertilizer in early spring if desired.
Winterizing: No special care needed. Leave foliage standing in winter, and clean up spent foliage in spring.
Maintenance & pruning: None required. Cut stems as desired for flower arrangements, removing no more than one-third of the plant at a time.Reviews
