HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow mountain phlox seeds in fall for the earliest blooms, or after the last spring frost for early summer bloom. Plant more every several weeks for continuous flowers. These plants can also be started indoors in peat pots; sow just below the surface of the soil, keeping it evenly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F. Germination usually occurs within 15-20 days. Transplant outdoors as soon as they can safely be handled and there is no chance of frost.

Growing: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. This plant self-seeds freely, but can be cut back after blooming to prevent spreading. This plant makes an excellent ground cover or border plant, and attracts bees and butterflies.

Harvesting: These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.

Seed Saving: After blooming, this plant will produce seed heads that eventually release their seeds. Watch the heads carefully and gather the seed as soon as it has ripened. Store mountain phlox seeds in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

These rare blushing beauties will bring charm and sweet fragrance wherever they are planted. This native annual comes from the wilds of coastal California but easily makes itself at home in most flower garden conditions. It is straightforward to grow and makes an excellent groundcover or border plant. Plant other ground cover seeds in your garden!
On one of his many mid-nineteenth century expeditions through the American West, botanist Edward Lee Greene discovered and recorded mountain phlox seeds. Greene became known for cataloguing over 4,400 species of native plants. The genus name "Linanthus" in Linanthus grandiflorus means "flax flower," while the species name "grandiflorus" means "large-flowered."
