watering
Garden phlox thrive when given sufficient water. Water plants every 7-10 days, soaking the soil and allowing the top few inches to dry out before the next watering. During hot, dry weather you may need to water the plant more frequently. It's important to avoid over or under watering, as this can lead to root rot or wilting. If the plants look wilted in summer, water deeply and they should recover.
sunlight
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Grenadine Dream') grows best in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This plant will tolerate some light shade, however full sun will help promote strong growth and better blooms. If possible, try to give this plant the most sun possible, as it will result in more abundant and vibrant blooms.
pruning
Garden phlox (Phlox paniculata 'Grenadine Dream') should be pruned vigorously every spring, after any old flower heads have been cleared away and the last of the frosts have passed. Remove any stems that are overly tall, scraggly, or woody, leaving the healthiest, most vibrant stems. Cut stems back to the desired height, usually 6-18 inches above the ground. After the initial pruning, regular deadheading of spent flowers can be done throughout the flowering season to encourage continual bloom. After flowering, prune around half of the bottom stems back to the ground, especially if the plant is beginning to look overgrown or crowded.
