Phlox features star-shaped flowers in dense clusters. Phlox flowers also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s easy to grow phlox from seed, so you can plant large drifts of color and fragrance without breaking the bank.

What do Phlox seeds look like?

Phlox seeds

Phlox seeds are dark brown, flat and tear drop shaped. They're fairly small, but not too difficult to handle.

Starting phlox seeds indoors

Sow in clean, sterilized seed trays or small pots. Consider root trainer trays that minimize root disturbance.

Transplanting phlox

Once your phlox seedlings have grown their first set of true leaves, you can start hardening them off before planting them out in the garden.

Phlox care

Phlox plants like their roots to stay cool and moist, so apply a light mulch around the base of the plants if temperatures are high in summer.
