& Phlox Popstars 1 Packet

Phlox 'Popstars' are star performers in the garden! Despite their small stature, these Phlox have been bred to take centre stage and will give a showstopping performance in your summer borders. Blooms are less than the size of a penny but their serrated edging, star shape and marbled colouring makes each a mini marvel! Free flowering in a wonderful array of colours, these easy to grow annuals plants are ideal for borders or cottage gardens, plus their small size and masses of blooms make them perfect for patio pots too. Weather tolerant, bushy and compact, 'Popstars Mixed' always look fresh and colourful - no need to deadhead this self-cleaning variety as faded blooms are simply replaced by fresh new buds to give up to five months of colour. Sow annual phlox from late winter to late spring on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 18-20 (64-68F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 10-21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When phlox plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun on moist, fertile, well-drained soil at a distance of 30cm(12") apart Product specifications: Position: Full Sun Height: Up to 25cm when fully established Spread: Up to 25cm when fully established Supplied as 1x Phlox 'Popstars' seed packet (approx. 10 seeds) Delivered with growing and care instructions Flowering period - June to August Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
