 Drummonds Phlox MixAn annual plant 12-16 (30-40 cm) high. The flowers are fragrant, small, 1/2 (1-1.5 cm) in diameter, collected in umbellate inflorescences of various bright colors. Used for flower decoration of flower beds, balconies, alpine slides, and garden vases.Planting instructions:  Begin the phlox seed-starting process approximately eight weeks before the last frost date in your area. Choose a seed-raising tray with drainage holes in the bottom. Fill the container with moist potting soil to within 3/4 inch (2 cm) of the top. Lightly press down on the soil with your fingers so it sits firmly in the container. Place the seeds on the soil with a 1-inch (3 cm) distance between them. Sprinkle soil over the seeds. Aim for a planting depth of 1/8 inch (0.5 cm). Moisten the top layer of soil with warm water. Use a spray bottle to moisten the soil — this will keep the seeds intact and wont rinse them away. Cover the container with a clear plastic bag to help the soil retain moisture. Seal the bag with an elastic band. Keep the plastic approximately 1 inch (3 cm) above the soil surface. Place the container in a dark, warm area of the house. Phlox seeds need a temperature of 65 F (20 C) to germinate. Wait for the seeds to germinate. This can take anywhere from five to 10 days. Check the soil moisture regularly throughout the germinating period. Aim to keep the soil moist at all times. Relocate the container to a bright area of the house. Remove the plastic from the container once the seeds start germinating.
