Description

What a wonderful bargain -- long-lived, hardy Garden Phlox from seed! A cut-flower lover's dream, this mix takes the best hybrids and combines them all in one super-economical seed packet. Phlox paniculata is a native American perennial containing the nectar that pollinators love, so you can expect a steady parade of bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies to visit your plants all season long..This mix contains all the classic Phlox colors: pure white, every shade of pink, rose, salmon, magenta, lavender, lilac, and more. The sizes of these plants will vary, but generally speaking you can expect them to reach 2 to 4 feet high and up to 2 feet wide. Bloom time is typically midsummer in all but the warmest climates, and can continue sporadically into fall, with the heaviest flowering occurring early in the season. ranch!.Now, let's talk about how to sow and grow this seed. Phlox will not be the easiest plant you ever start from seed, but much of the "difficulty" is really patience, not effort. First, understand that Phlox seeds need a cold period in order to germinate. You can give them this naturally by sowing them outdoors in fall, or you can pop the seed packet into the refrigerator for a month when it arrives..Once the seeds have chilled, you can either pop them into the Bio Dome or sow them in seed flats. If using the Bio Dome, just make sure that the seed actually drops into the pre-drilled hole in the bio sponge. If using any other method, cover the seed well with seed-starting mix and/or start them in a dark room. The seeds need darkness to germinate, and they will take their time, often not sprouting for 30 days. A temperature in the 40s or 50s is best for germination.Once you see green sprouts, the hard work (and waiting!) is over. Grow the seedlings on in a cool room, and transplant them when the seedlings have at least 2 sets of true leaves and all danger of spring frost is past. Like all garden Phlox, Bee's Bouquet is a heavy feeder, so work in lots of organic matter all spring. This plant also likes consistent moisture, so don't let it dry out completely. You are going to love your Hardy Garden Phlox for many years to come! Enjoy this exciting mix.
