Growing Instructions

Start indoors 4–8 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow outdoors once danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds shallowly, as light helps with germination, and keep soil evenly moist. Thin or transplant seedlings to allow for good airflow. Phlox prefers well-drained soil and regular watering, especially during hot spells. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage a longer season of flowering.
