Phlox Plants FAQs

Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Phlox Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant Phlox Plants

Phlox plants are best planted in the spring or early autumn. Spring planting allows them to establish before summer, while autumn planting gives them time to root before winter. Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil.

How to Plant Phlox Plants

To plant phlox, prepare the soil by adding organic matter like compost. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space the plants about 30 cm apart to allow for air circulation. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

How long do Phlox Plants take to grow

Phlox plants grow relatively quickly, often flowering within a few months of planting if conditions are favourable. Established plants will bloom from late spring to late summer, depending on the variety. Regular watering and deadheading will promote continuous blooming.
