Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover completely as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Seedlings typically emerge in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the desired spacing.
For best performance, plant in a location with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continued blooming. Intensia Blueberry Phlox is relatively low-maintenance and resistant to deer and rabbits.
