How do you prepare Phlox for the winter months? Just planted them in the spring..

1 Answer

Answer :

You have to save seeds from them and replant them in the spring after the last chance of rfost has passed.  They are annuals and will die off in the winter and won't come back on their own.  Collect the seeds after the flower has died off....save them in a big paper envelope and store them in a cool dry area for next spring.
