Please note: Images on our website depict plants and trees at full maturity to showcase their expected grown characteristics. These images are illustrative examples only and do not represent the size of plants or trees upon delivery.

Pruning: Light pruning or deadheading of spent blooms can encourage a second flowering and maintain a neat appearance.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to support healthy growth and blooming.

Winter Protection: Mulch around the base in late fall to protect the roots from freezing temperatures and to retain soil moisture.

To plant the Flame® Lilac Star Garden Phlox, choose a well-drained area that receives plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, set the plant in place, and then fill the hole with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Space each plant about 16-20 inches apart to ensure adequate air circulation, which will help to prevent mildew. Apply a layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Regular watering and ample sunlight are key to achieving vibrant, long-lasting blooms. Ensure the plant receives at least 6 hours of sunlight and keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.
