Growing and Care Tips
Follow these simple guidelines to ensure the successful growth and care of your Garden Girls™ 'Uptown Girl' Garden Phlox:
- Location: Choose a spot in your garden that receives ample sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Partial shade during the hottest hours of the day is also beneficial in particularly warm climates.
- Soil Preparation: Phlox plants thrive in well-draining, fertile soil. Prior to planting, amend the soil with organic matter such as compost to improve its nutrient content and drainage.
- Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of your 'Uptown Girl' garden phlox. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the soil surface. Backfill with soil and gently tamp down to remove air pockets.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is crucial for the proper development of your phlox plants.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for application rates. This provides the necessary nutrients to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Pruning: To encourage bushier growth and prolong flowering, pinch back the tips of the stems in early summer. Additionally, remove any spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and stimulate further blooming.
- Overwintering: In colder regions, provide a layer of mulch around the base of your phlox plants before winter to protect them from freezing temperatures. This helps to ensure their survival and vigorous growth in the following year.
