✂️ Care
Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming period and encourage new inflorescences. Light pruning in late winter promotes balanced branching and a harmonious silhouette.
Apply an organic mulch around the base to maintain soil moisture and gradually enrich the soil.
Water regularly during dry periods. Once established, this phlox grows vigorously and generously attracts butterflies and bees to the garden.
