Survival Garden Seeds features a selected mix of phlox seeds for sale, with colors of white, light pink and dark pink. These heirloom, non-GMO seeds are guaranteed to germinate and will produce vibrant, healthy plants.
Phlox is valued for its beauty and aromatic flowers. They are available in a palette of different colors. These plants can adapt to many climates and flourish in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 8. Phlox are prized for a long blooming period and are useful in organic gardening to attract pollinators and improve garden diversity.
To start early, sow the phlox seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Direct garden sowing is done when the soil has warmed up. Plant seeds at a shallow depth, approximately 1/8 inch deep, because they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist, and expect seedlings to start in 10 to 21 days. Transplant them to their final location, about 1 to 2 feet apart.
Phlox plants like regular watering. They grow best in rich soil and appreciate the addition of compost. Removing dried blooms encourages a second flowering, while also preventing self-seeding. Monitor your flower plants for common pests and diseases such as powdery mildew. They can be managed well by providing good air circulation around the plants.
Survival Garden Seeds' phlox mix enables you to experience the joy of growing delightful annuals. They bring beauty and biodiversity to the outdoors. Easy care and lasting blooms make phlox plants a superb choice for this growing season.
