watering

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Glow') prefers a consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly at the root zone of the plant about once a week during the active growth period (spring to late summer). Make sure your soil is well drained and avoid over-watering. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water more frequently to prevent wilting. In late fall and winter, reduce watering to every 2 weeks or when the soil feels dry.

sunlight

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Glow') is a midsize, deciduous flowering perennial that grows in large mounds and produces spiked clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, and white. This plant thrives in full sun or partial shade and will perform best when it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight on a daily basis. Additionally, garden phlox can benefit from exposure to afternoon shade during the hottest months, as this will help to protect the plant from wilting and drying out.

pruning

Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Eden's Glow') should be pruned annually in early spring (typically March or April) to keep it healthy and looking its best. The goal of pruning is to remove old, dead, and diseased foliage as well as any scraggly growth that may have developed over the winter. Begin by cutting back the stems of the phlox to about 4-5 inches above the ground. Next, cut out any dead or diseased stems and foliage as well as any branches that are growing in a way you don't prefer. Remember to clean your pruning tools in between any cuts to prevent the spread of disease. After pruning, apply a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and blooms.
