watering

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Crush') needs to be watered 1-2 inches of water per week throughout the growing season. Water deeply and thoroughly during dry periods. Make sure to water the root zone directly, not just the foliage. To really maximize growth and bloom production, water early in the day so that the foliage has time to dry off before the sun goes down. Avoid overhead watering, as garden phlox can be susceptible to powdery mildew. If the plant is situated in an area that receives a lot of direct wind, check the soil regularly to make sure that it remains moist.

sunlight

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Crush') requires full to partial sunlight in order to thrive. It should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to promote its best growth and flowering. For best results, the plant should be placed in a spot in the garden that receives all-day sun or morning and afternoon sun. When placed in full sun, more frequent watering is needed for optimal health.

pruning

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Crush') typically requires moderate pruning. It should be pruned in late winter/early spring before new growth starts. This plant should be cut back by half its size or slightly more for optimal blooming. It is also a good idea to remove any dead stems at the base of the plant. Pruning late in the season after the plant has finished blooming will cause a decrease in next year's blooms.
