How to care for Phlox douglasii Rosea:
Keep this alpine evenly moist and feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (May to September). Once the flowers have faded, trim to maintain form. Once established, lift and divide clumps in autumn.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
