Planting & Care

Sow Blushing Bride Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain even moisture and a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In late fall, cut back foliage after it dies back. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
