#ProPlantTips for Care

For the best performance, give this sun-lover a planting site with at least six hours of sun a day. Plant them in well-drained soil.

Improve your drainage with a raised bed. You can also consider soggy soil to be a good sign that you need to create a special container garden, raised up on bricks to allow water to drain quickly.

They appreciate regular water on a consistent schedule. If you are keeping your Candy Store Cotton Candy Phlox in containers, don't let them dry out.

Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system to cut down on surface evaporation. Pull it away from directly touching the stems.

Prune Phlox late in the season back down to the ground. Too busy? Don't worry, this easy task can be done in late winter or early spring, too.
