Phlox drummondii
Lovely flower in soft nuances of apricot, cream and vintage pink tones. Looks great in vases and summer bouquets. Can be sown directly, but pre-cultivation is recommended. Deadhead wilted flowers regularly and the plants will bloom more abundantly. Thrives in well-fertilized, loamy soil. Water abundantly in case of drought.
Originally a wildflower in Texas, phlox has been a prized cultivated flower in Europe for over 150 years.
Pre-cultivation: Mid March - April. Sow sparsely in moistened seed soil. Replant to 1 plant/pot with fertilized soil when the plants are big enough. Place in a light and cool place. Plant out after the last frost.
Direct sowing: Mid April - May. Water the seedbed before sowing. Keep the seed moist until the seeds germinate. Pre-cultivation is recommended.
