Planting & Care

Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil.
Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In late fall, cut back foliage after it dies back to prepare plants for winter. With proper care, Purple Romance Phlox will provide early-season color and pollinator interest for years to come.
