White Phlox (Phlox Drummondii Nana Compacta Beauty White) - Called annual Phlox or Drummond's Phlox, this lovely white annual is low-growing and produces masses of blooms. Start Phlox seeds once, and it is likely to re-seed itself each season for a colorful display of color. White Phlox plants are well-suited for the front of the flower border or in containers. Grow annual Phlox to naturalize a landscape as well.
Sow Phlox flower seeds directly outdoors into prepared soil in the late fall or spring. After distributing the flower seed evenly, rake into loosened topsoil to ensure good seed contact with the soil. For earlier blooms, sow the Drummond Phlox seed indoors 4 - 6 weeks before setting out. As with all annual flowers, it is essential that annual Phlox Drummondii is allowed to re-seed for an abundant display the following year. Annual Phlox care includes trimming the plant back after the first flush of blooms. A trim encourages a second bloom of Phlox flowers.
