Planting & Care

Sow Cloudburst Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.

Choose a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and to prevent self-seeding. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
