Planting & Care

Sow Gisele Red Phlox seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the medium evenly moist. Germination can be slow and uneven, typically taking 14-28 days. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow good air circulation. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and cut back stems in late fall or early spring. Phlox benefits from good air circulation to help prevent powdery mildew.
