Planting & Care
Sow Tall Mix 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. Germination can take 14-28 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.
Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Tall phlox may benefit from staking in windy areas. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and to prevent unwanted self-seeding. Divide clumps every few years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
