Garden Phlox Planting Guide

When to Plant Phlox Seeds

Ready to get your garden groove on? Plant those Garden Phlox Mix seeds directly outdoors in late fall or spring. Want an early bloom surprise? Start them indoors 4-6 weeks before it’s time to get planting outside.

Where to Plant Phlox Seeds

Phlox loves to soak up the sun, but it can also chill in partial shade. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil—think sandy and fabulous, but it can adapt to various well-drained soils, including alkaline types. Perfect for rock gardens, containers, and even as a low-maintenance ground cover, Phlox is ready for anything!

How to Plant Phlox Seeds

If you're starting indoors, just give those Phlox seeds a gentle press into the soil—no covering necessary! They’ll be popping up in 7-21 days, just like magic. If you're going outside, scatter those seeds evenly in a prepared bed, give them a light rake into the loosened soil, and keep them moist until they sprout. Don’t forget to space the plants about 10 inches apart, so they have room to strut their stuff!

How to Care for Phlox

Let your Phlox do its thing and re-seed for a spectacular bloom show next year. After the first round of flowers takes a bow, trim them back to encourage encore performances! Your garden will thank you!
