garden phlox

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Balsukafus' SUPER KA-POW FUCHSIA) should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the weather, both before and during blooming season. In general, the plant should be watered deeply but not frequently as too much moisture can lead to disease and root rot. It is best to water in the morning or early evening and keep the soil damp, not soggy. Watering the leaves and stems will also help provide humidity, which can help keep the flowers blooming and vigorous. During periods of drought or heat waves, you may need to water more frequently to ensure the plant has enough water to stay healthy.

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Balsukafus' SUPER KA-POW FUCHSIA) should receive full sun for approximately 6 to 8 hours daily. This plant prefers sunny, well-draining soil and does best in locations with direct, unfiltered sunlight for most of the day. It's best to plant garden phlox in a location with some protection from the wind and extreme temperatures. In areas with hot summers, garden phlox should be planted in a spot that gets some shade during the hottest part of the day, such as mid-afternoon.

Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Balsukafus' SUPER KA-POW FUCHSIA) should be pruned once a year in early spring before it begins to grow again. To do this, use sharp garden shears to cut back each stem to 1/3 of its size. This will encourage strong and healthy growth and prevent the stems from getting too leggy or straggly. Deadheading (removing old flowers) should be done regularly throughout the growing season to keep the plant looking attractive and to promote more flowers. Pruning should be done carefully to avoid damaging the stems and garden phlox grows best in well-drained soil and full sun.
