Planting & Care
1. Planting: Spring and fall are ideal times to plant your Phlox. In cooler zones, summer is a great time to plant, as well. Find a spot with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Some subtle afternoon shade may be ideal in hot climates.
Plant your Phlox in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately to establish roots. Add 2-3 inches of mulch to prevent weeds and protect your plant's roots in extreme temperatures.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your plant's shipped container, and use organic soil. Place your plant's root ball, water to settle its roots, and find a sunny spot on your porch or patio to place your container.
2. Watering: Water weekly, or check the surrounding soil. When the soil is dry about 3 inches down, it's time to water your Phlox. Once established, Phlox are drought tolerant.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with our slow release fertilizer when planting and in spring for best results.

United StatesArrived well packaged
I'm happy with my purchase - arrived with just a few small broken (delicate) pieces very quickly.
United StatesPerfect
We received gorgeous and healthy Phlox just in time for spring. They are so lovely I put them out on a tray on the dining table for Easter! I can't wait to get them in the ground. In Wisconsin, that might be another week. Today is 38 and cold. Feeling great about the purchase.
United StatesSo far so good. Waiting for it to spread. Love the color!
Planted them in a large area on our bank about three weeks ago. So far so good!
United Statessmiled from ear to ear
until i went out next day and saw that the squirrels were so happy at the dinner I supplied. I am now on a search and destroy so I can order another one.
