🌿 Quick Tips

1. Cover seeds with 3–4 mm of fine soil — phlox needs darkness to germinate.
2. Space 15–20 cm apart to keep plants bushy and airy.
3. Pinch the tips once at 8–10 cm for double the flower count.
4. Deadhead regularly to keep it blooming for months.
5. Water at the base, not overhead — wet leaves invite powdery mildew.
