Planting Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
- Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down, but do not cover them with soil as they need light to germinate.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate. Once established, water regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 10-12 inches apart.
- Care: Thin seedlings to about 10-12 inches apart to give them room to grow.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Growing Tips:
- Light Requirements: Phlox thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
- Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth.
