Purple 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. Purple Sprite produces rich, deep purple flowers in spring — a bold, vivid, and spirited color that opens the phlox season with maximum color impact. Spring phlox blooms earlier than standard tall garden phlox. Highly attractive to early butterflies and hummingbirds. A compact, well-formed early bloomer.
