Growing Tips for Phlox paniculata 'Flame® Watermelon'
Grow in moderately fertile, medium-moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. It performs best in climates with mild summers and may struggle in very hot, humid conditions. Cut plants back by half in late spring or early summer to encourage a more compact habit. Divide every 3–5 years in spring or fall, ensuring each division has 2–3 shoots and healthy roots.
