Magenta Sprite Hybrid Spring Phlox

Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Space 15–18 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly. Good air circulation is important for mildew prevention.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead spent flower clusters to extend bloom. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 3–4 years in spring. Monitor for powdery mildew. Fertilize lightly in spring. Magenta Sprite produces vivid, electric magenta-pink flowers in spring — a bold, spirited color with a lively, sprite-like energy. Spring phlox blooms earlier than standard tall garden phlox, extending the phlox season. Highly attractive to early butterflies and hummingbirds. A compact, well-formed spring bloomer.
