Planting & Care

Sow Backlight Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level to prepare for winter dormancy.
