Volcano® Soft Pink with Dark Eye Garden Phlox

Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Space 18–24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly. Good air circulation at planting time is important for mildew prevention.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead spent flower clusters to extend bloom and prevent self-seeding of inferior seedlings. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 3–4 years in spring. Monitor for powdery mildew- this series has improved resistance, but good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering always help. Fertilize lightly in spring. The soft pink flowers with a contrasting dark eye are particularly delicate and refined. Highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
