Planting & Care
Sow Sugar Stars Phlox seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C) for best results. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 8–12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming throughout the season. Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. With minimal care, Sugar Stars Phlox will reward you with a profusion of starry blooms all summer long.
