Planting & Care
Sow Purple Flame Phlox 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; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days.
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden them off for the garden. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage after it dies down.
