Mountain Phlox is an annual flower that is native to California. It can be found along the coast and works well as a cut flower. Blooms are white, but are often shaded with a light pink or purple color. 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. All our seeds are Home Grown in the USA - Isla's Garden
