Hardy perennial



The seed of perennial Phlox is very slow and erratic in germinating, and

from a sowing made in September the seedlings may not appear until the

following spring. Seed may also be sown in the first week of March in

shallow boxes, and put into moderate heat. In due time prick out into

boxes filled with light rich soil, and having hardened them in the usual

way, plant out a foot apart in a good bed, and help, if needful, with an

occasional watering.
