Gardener Tips
Consider placing multiple plants in one area for quick filling, then in 2-3 growing seasons, you can easily divide this plant in early spring and use her in other areas.
Try planting Phlox with bulbs such as tulips and daffodils for a gorgeous spring display.
Try planting Phlox as a
border
for herb gardens where she will blanket the earth beneath taller growers such as basil, chives and lavender while not disturbing their productivity.
We planted some last year as a test to see how they would fair in Kansas City. They bloomed this Spring and they looked just like the picture. Tiny, adorable, and abundant. We bought more this year to complete our project. :0)
