Planting & Care
Sow Lilac Star Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for germination, which typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of 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 location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain plant vigor. In late fall, cut back foliage to the ground to promote healthy growth the following spring.
