Yellow Phlox (Phlox Drummondii Nana Compacta Beauty Yellow) – Phlox seeds produce flowers in about 8 – 10 weeks after sowing. Annual Phlox establishes easily and quickly, and it gives a lovely profusion of colors. Drummond Phlox yellow has small flowers with 5-petals. They are lightly scented, flat and attractive to butterflies. Often called Drummond’s Phlox, this annual is a native to the gulf coast states, but it can be grown successfully in nearly every climate.
Sow Phlox flower seeds directly outdoors into prepared soil in the late fall or spring. After distributing the flower seed evenly, rake into loosened topsoil to ensure good seed contact with the soil. For earlier blooms, sow the yellow Phlox seeds indoors 4 – 6 weeks before setting out. As with all annual flowers, it is essential that annual Phlox Drummondii is allowed to re-seed for an abundant display the following year. Annual Phlox care includes trimming the plant back after the first flush of blooms. A trim encourages a second bloom of yellow Phlox flowers.
