Phlox Ethnie Where to Plant Phlox Seeds
Phlox thrives in sunny locations but appreciates some afternoon shade, especially in hot climates. When grown in ceramic containers, which absorb heat, it’s advisable to position potted phlox where they can avoid direct sunlight during the late afternoon.
No need to worry excessively about soil quality. Phlox flourishes in soils ranging from poor to medium quality, as long as they are moist, yet well-draining.
Garden phlox is suitable for the back or middle of a border, while annuals phlox varieties shine at the front.
Phlox Ethnie How to Plant Phlox Seeds
When direct sowing, cover seed with ⅛ inch fine soil. Darkness is required for germination. Thin seedlings when first true leaves appear. If started indoors, begin the hardening off process after all danger of frost has passed and carefully transplant your seedlings to their outdoor location when first true leaves appear.
In drier locations, plant or thin phlox one foot apart. In humid or consistently irrigated beds, phlox should be spaced two feet apart.
Phlox Ethnie How to Care for Phlox
Ensure your planting beds remain consistently moist by using a mist sprayer or setting your hose to a gentle flow. Once the plants have developed a few pairs of true leaves, you can reduce watering unless the specific phlox variety necessitates otherwise.
