Re: Phlox Vegetative Propagation

just divide the plant early in the spring when new growth starts. with
spring rains and mild temp., you will not stress the plant, and have the
entire growing season for all divisions to mature and bloom. the roots are
mature so you have a nice plant right away. :)      chris, zone 5
