Re: Phlox stolonifera
Hello Al,
To get the spread this phlox is noted for you need to take advantage of
the stolonifera aspect. Reasonable soil that has been loosened up a bit
before planting and then Mulch! The nodes at on the bottom of the stems will
push into the mulch and form new plants. Once established they are Not slow
growers. May take a year to settle in.... All of mine for the nursery come
from dividing plants in the garden and potting up to place in the display
area. Exactly which one do you have? There sure are some nice ones out
there.
