Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix; do not cover completely as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature around 65-70°F and keep the medium evenly moist. Germination can be slow and uneven, typically taking 14-28 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and cut back foliage in late fall after it dies back. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Mother of Pearl Phlox seeds (Phlox paniculata).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795521175862,"sku":"FOLIA2-233","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7239966053_ri47.jpg?v=1792671017","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-mother-of-pearl-phlox-seeds-perennial-garden-flowers-phlox-paniculata","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
