How to grow Drummond's Pink Creeping Phlox seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Sow directly outdoors in April or May, after the danger of frost has passed.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Plastic wrap or a humidity dome to hold moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) deep and cover the tray to exclude light until germination.
• Keep the seed compost evenly moist but never soggy.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Germinate in darkness; move to bright light as soon as seedlings emerge.
• Temperature: 60-68°F (16-20°C) for germination.

Germination

• Germination usually takes 10-21 days.
• Transplant seedlings into individual pots once they have a couple of true leaves.

Transplanting

• Plant out after the last frost, when seedlings are sturdy.
• Harden off over 7-10 days before planting out.
• Space 12 inches (30 cm) apart in rich, well-drained soil.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun; light afternoon shade helps in very hot climates.
• Water: Water evenly and regularly; avoid wetting the foliage to discourage mildew.
• Fertilizer: Feed every few weeks during summer for the longest display.
• Pinch out the growing tips when plants are about 3 inches tall to encourage bushy growth.

Bloom Time:

Early summer to autumn, starting about 60-75 days from sowing.
