garden phlox

Water garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Bartwelve' PINK FLAME) deeply once or twice a week in the evening, allowing 1-2 inches of water per session. These blossoms thrive in moist soil, so check it regularly to ensure that the soil doesn't completely dry out. Reduce frequency of watering when the weather cools during winter months. If wilting occurs, give the plants a deep drink of water.

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Bartwelve' PINK FLAME) do best in full sun and require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The sunlight should be provided from mid-morning through late afternoon in order to encourage flowering and to ensure proper growth. If the plant is placed in an area where it only receives partial sun, it may become leggy or have fewer blooms.

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Bartwelve' PINK FLAME) is an herbaceous perennial flower. Pruning should take place each spring, as soon as the plant begins to grow new buds. Begin by cutting back the spent foliage on the plant, about 1-half to 2-thirds of the current height. This will encourage the plant to produce new healthy flowers. Remove any dead or damaged stems and prune lightly to maintain a desired shape and size. Once blooming begins, remove any spent flowers and buds to encourage further blooming. All pruning should be done with clean, sharp pruning shears.
