Planting & Care
Sow Red Admiral Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant outdoors.
Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Water regularly during dry spells, and 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 few years to maintain vigor.
