This phlox blooms long and abundantly, from June right through to October, delighting the eyes with vivid colours throughout summer and autumn. It is an excellent choice for those who dream of a garden full of energy and life while valuing plants that are easy to cultivate. It works well on flower beds, in edgings, and in containers. When planted in groups, it creates a colourful carpet of flowers that will brighten up even the most modest garden.

Sowing depth

Seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. Placing them in the soil in this way ensures the seeds have appropriate access to moisture and air, which translates into rapid and even germination.

Sowing time for direct sowing

Sow seeds directly into the ground in May, once the soil has warmed up sufficiently and the risk of frost has passed completely. This guarantees young plants a good start and vigorous growth.

Sowing time under cover

If you care about earlier flowering, sow seeds under covers from March to April. Seedlings obtained in this way will allow you to enjoy the beauty of flowers in full bloom much sooner.

Planting time

Transplant seedlings to the ground in May, on warm days and during stable weather. Plants take root quickly and begin to grow dynamically, forming healthy, compact clumps.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 20 x 25 cm during planting. This distance between plants allows them to expand freely, so that each one fully develops its flowers and leaves, creating a lush, colourful decoration.

Flowering time

The red Drummond's phlox blooms from June to October, offering a long and uninterrupted spectacle of colour. Its intense red contrasts perfectly with the green of the leaves and other plant colours in the flower bed.

Cultivation

This phlox grows best in fertile, permeable soil that is rich in humus and constantly slightly moist. It blooms most beautifully in full sun, where its colour gains particular depth. The plant tolerates short-term dryness well and is resistant to changing weather conditions. It can be cultivated both from seedlings and through direct sowing into the ground. This makes it a versatile plant, ideal for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. In garden compositions, it presents beautifully when accompanied by yellow or orange flowers, building harmonious, warm colour combinations. This phlox will also work well in pots on a terrace, where its abundant flowering attracts the attention of household members and guests.
