Franz Schubert Phlox is a beloved garden perennial prized for its soft lavender-pink flower clusters that bloom in generous panicles atop sturdy stems. This Phlox paniculata variety brings a gentle pastel tone to summer borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens, where its fragrant blooms attract butterflies and pollinators throughout the season.

Planting & Care

Sow Franz Schubert phlox seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, pressing them lightly into the surface of a moist seed-starting mix. Provide gentle warmth and bright light, and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is helpful. Once seedlings have several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Choose a site with rich, well-drained soil and good air circulation to help reduce foliar problems. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and divide crowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
