Maintenance Guide for Phlox subulata ‘Kimono Pink & White’

Taking care of Phlox subulata ‘Kimono Pink & White’ is easy, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. With minimal effort, you can enjoy its beautiful blooms each spring. Follow these simple care tips to keep your Creeping Phlox thriving:

• Watering: Water regularly during the initial establishment phase to help the plant settle in. Once established, Phlox subulata is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, particularly during dry spells. Ensure that the soil drains well to prevent root rot.
• Pruning: After the blooming season, lightly prune back the plant to maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth. Deadheading faded flowers will help prolong the blooming period and keep the plant looking tidy.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as excessive nitrogen can result in lush foliage at the expense of blooms.
• Mulching: A layer of organic mulch can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. Ensure the mulch is kept away from the crown of the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
• Pest and Disease Control: Phlox subulata is generally pest-resistant but may occasionally suffer from powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions. To prevent this, ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. If needed, organic fungicides can help manage any disease issues.
