Maintenance:

To keep your Phlox sub. 'McDaniel's Cushion' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

1. Sunlight: Plant your 'McDaniel's Cushion' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal flowering.

2. Watering: Provide regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as Phlox plants prefer well-drained soil. Water at the base of the plant to prevent moisture on the foliage.

3. Soil: 'McDaniel's Cushion' thrives in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure good soil preparation by incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.

4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the manufacturer's instructions. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

5. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. This also prevents the plant from diverting energy into seed production.

6. Division: Every 2-3 years, consider dividing 'McDaniel's Cushion' to rejuvenate the plant and prevent overcrowding. Spring or early fall is the best time for division.

7. Pest and Disease Control: Monitor your plants regularly for common pests such as aphids or powdery mildew. Take appropriate action if any issues arise, using organic pest control methods whenever possible.
