Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required for Drummond Phlox seeds.

Sowing:

Choose a planting location that receives full sun to partial shade.
Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and removing any weeds or debris.
Sow the seeds directly into the prepared soil, scattering them evenly over the surface.
Lightly press the seeds into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Water the area gently to settle the seeds into the soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, thin them to a spacing of 6 to 12 inches apart.
Alternatively, if you started the seeds indoors, transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost date in your area.

Care and Maintenance:

Water Drummond Phlox plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a consistent soil temperature.
Monitor the plants for pests and diseases, such as aphids or powdery mildew, and treat as needed with appropriate measures.
In colder climates, provide winter protection by mulching around the base of the plants or covering them with a layer of straw or pine needles.

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.

Happy gardening!
