I am pleased with the careful and rather prompt delivery of my large seed order. The explanatory sheets are a very interesting added bonus. And I would like to thank your team for quickly and unconditionally rectifying a small oversight of a packet of seeds (dwarf nasturtium). The phlox seedlings are underway and, for now, despite a slow start, everything is looking good, their growth is progressing.

Description

The Phlox Drummondii 'Phlox Of Sheep' mix, also known as Drummond's Phlox, is a collection of dwarf annuals. These beautifully brighten up the edges of flowerbeds with their compact and bushy habit. Their numerous small white, cream, yellow, salmon, apricot, and pink flowers renew from June to August to delight the butterflies. Some of them are even bi-coloured with a yellow and white star-shaped centre. This mix is easy to grow, requires no maintenance, and allows for summer bouquets.

The Drummond's Phlox is named after a Scottish naturalist, Thomas Drummond, who discovered this plant in the prairies of Texas in 1830. This species is small (15 to 30 cm (6 to 12in) tall) and forms a bushy clump. Its leaves are green lanceolate and create a dense backdrop that hosts panicles of various colours. These panicles consist of multiple tubular flowers (about 2 cm (1in)) ending in five lobes. They are slightly fragrant and bring undeniable charm to romantic gardens. They prefer a sunny exposure and fertile soil to bloom generously. Don't hesitate to give them water in case of prolonged drought and place them in well-drained soil.

Phlox Of Sheep offers a range of particularly adorable colours. It brings brightness and warmth to flowerbeds and balconies in pastel shades and slightly tangy hues. You can integrate it into a multi-coloured ensemble that softens or brightens up a monochrome composition in white, yellow, or pink.

Planting and care

The Phlox Drummondii 'Phlox Of Sheep' are preferably sown under shelter in a seed tray from the month of March. If your climate is rather mild, you can even start in February as the seeds are capable of germinating as soon as the temperatures range between 13 and 15°C (55.4 and 59°F).

Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost (1 to 2 mm (0in)) that you will keep slightly moist and place in the sun (essential for germination). They will sprout between 10 and 21 days. When the young plants are large enough to be moved and the frost period is over, you can plant them. Choose a well-drained soil, if possible rich and in the sun.

You can also sow them directly in place after loosening the surface soil. Place one seed every 10/15 cm (4/6in).

Phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew, so you can perform a preventive treatment and make sure not to water the foliage, but the base of the plant.
