Woodlander Pink Phlox Care

Plant this Phlox in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content. Partial sun, about 4 to 6 hours daily, supports growth. Give new plants consistent water, but established plants only need water during a dry period. These plants are not heavy feeders, but applying balanced fertilizer in the spring encourages abundant growth.

Prune the plant after the flowers fade. Remove damaged growth in late winter before new growth emerges.
