✂️ Care

Remove spent flowers regularly to prolong the generous bloom. Light pruning after flowering maintains a compact and dense shape.

Apply an organic mulch at the base to retain moisture and gradually improve soil structure.

Water moderately to regularly during hot and dry periods. Once well established, this 'Cover Girl' phlox thrives vigorously, producing vibrant cherry inflorescences that attract butterflies, bees, and other essential pollinators to your garden.
