Planting & Care
Sow Cherry Red Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Fertilize lightly every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. With proper care, Cherry Red Phlox will reward you with a profusion of colorful blooms throughout the season.
