INTRODUCING PHLOX SEEDS

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.

HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT PHLOX SEEDS

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.

MAINTAINING PHLOX PLANTS

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
