Planting & Care
Sow Red Flame Phlox seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist at around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14–28 days. Once seedlings have several 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 to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, and cut back stems in late fall or early spring. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
