Growing Tips

Self-cleaning, deadheading not necessary. This is not necessarily true of all Phlox.

Will do best in well-drained soil.

Rabbits may find Phlox very tasty.

An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
