Beautiful phlox is a favorite for wedding ceremony bouquets - but it looks just as fabulous in the garden. Native to Texas, White Phlox Drummondii grows about 2 ft. tall and blooms from February to May in most climates. A display of white flowers in tight clusters is a show-stopping feature of this flower.
Germinate indoors for 4 - 6 weeks, let them grow until well-established (usually in a couple of months) then move them outdoors into the light shade to full sun. Phlox seeds germinate when the soil temperature is around 5 degrees, hence why we suggest starting them indoors. Phlox prefers well-draining sandy soil and will self-seed once fully grown.
Season: Annual USDA Zones: 3 - 10 Height: 10 inches Bloom Season: Early summer to early fall Bloom Color: White Environment: Full sun Soil Type: Well-drained, sandy, pH 6.1 - 7.3 Temperature: 65 - 70F Average Germ Time: 7 - 21 days Light Required: No Depth: 1/16th inch Moisture: Keep seeds moist until germination Plant Spacing: 10 inches
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
