Phlox
Phlox plants can be either annual or perennial and belong to the Polemoniaceae. The plant produces showy flowers in early, mid, and late summer. The vibrancy created by these flowers is irresistible, making it feel sinful not to grow some for your summer bloom.
You can have a phlox flower in any colour regardless of whether you want it for an event, gardening, or decorating your patio. The flower does exceptionally well in zones 4-8 and can grow up to 5 feet. The most common phlox species are:
P. Paniculata
It is also called the garden phlox. This species grows upright and is ideal for planting for cut flowers.
P. subulata
The species grows short and can also be creeping, creating a mat-like appearance. It is also called moss phlox, mountain phlox, or moss pink.
When to Plant Phlox
To get the alluring bloom that the phlox flowers create, you have to know when to plant phlox plants. The plants do not perform the same when grown at different times. But, when it is frosting, do not plant your phlox. Ideally, you should plant them at the beginning of spring in your pots or garden.
Also, you can germinate them indoors 2-4 weeks before winter is over. When ice clears, transfer them to your garden for early blooming. For blooms throughout the summer, plant your phlox at different times, approximately 10 days apart.

How to Plant Phlox
After deciding to plant phlox to make your summer colourful and knowing when to grow them, it is now time for planting. Here is how to plant phlox:
- Buy phlox plants that have not been infected by diseases or attacked by pests. Ensure they are large to enjoy large and attractive blooms.
- Prepare your garden or pots for plant transfer or direct planting. Your soil must be well-drained and should be adequately watered and free from weed.
- Ensure the cut side of your plant faces up when planting, and you have enough spacing to allow proper spreading when the flowers start blooming. It also allows your plants to breathe.
Phlox Plant Care
Once you plant your phlox flower seeds and start germinating, start caring for them to ensure they remain showy as they should. Ensure they are getting enough sun and water throughout. To avoid thinning, fertilize your plants with organic manure or a soluble fertilizer.
Cutting the flower stems of P. Paniculata when winter starts, and removing the dried flowers and coloured leaves are also included in phlox plant care. When these are done, your phlox flowers bloom continually for a prolonged period than when this care is neglected. Divide your phlox plants when they start getting crowded.
