watering
Garden phlox should be watered approximately once a week during the growing season, providing the soil has enough moisture. Make sure to water deeply, giving the soil a thorough soaking. Avoid over-watering, as Phlox paniculata 'Barfourteen' Purple Flame is particularly sensitive to excess moisture and could suffer root rot as a result. During periods of dry and hot weather, you may wish to increase the frequency of watering. In winter time, watering should be reduced significantly, as the plant is dormant and does not need additional water.
sunlight
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Barfourteen' PURPLE FLAME) requires full sun exposure for optimal growth and flowering. Six to 8 hours of direct sunlight, provided from at least 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily, is ideal for this plant species. Additionally, Garden phlox enjoys some filtered light in the morning and after sunset, so if the plant is near a tree or building and is not receiving full sun exposure, the amount of sunlight may be sufficient.
pruning
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Barfourteen' PURPLE FLAME) should be pruned each year to maintain its lush, attractive appearance. Prune your garden phlox in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Start by cutting out any dead or damaged stems, then reduce the entire plant by 1/3-1/2 of its current size. Be sure to remove any dead flowerheads that remain on the plant as diseases can spread to new growth if they are left. Make sure all of your cuts are clean and straight, and it’s best to use a sharp pair of pruning shears specifically designed for precision cuts. After pruning, add a fresh layer of mulch to help retain moisture and provide insulation for the roots. With the right amount of pruning, your garden phlox will stay healthy and look great for years.
