Planting & Care
Sow Opalescence Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination 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.
Plant in a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep 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. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
