How to Grow Phlox Drummondii from Seeds:

1. Planting Time:

   - Start Indoors: If you're in a cooler climate, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. In warmer climates, you can sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost has passed.  

2. Soil:

   - Phlox prefers well-drained, fertile soil, ideally enriched with compost. They like slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).

3. Sowing:

   - Indoor Starting: Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil in a seed tray, as they need light to germinate. Gently press the seeds into the soil but do not cover them. 

   - Outdoor Sowing: For direct sowing, scatter the seeds on the soil surface in a sunny spot and lightly press them into the soil.

4. Germination:

   - Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days if kept at a consistent temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

5. Transplanting:

   - Once seedlings have a few sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart.

6. Care:

   - Phlox Drummondii thrives in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

   - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and keep the plant looking tidy.   

7. Blooming:

   - Expect blooms from late spring to early summer, depending on when you sow the seeds.

Phlox Drummondii Mix is a great choice for borders, containers, and hanging baskets. The variety of colors adds visual interest, and the plants are generally easy to care for, making them a popular choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
