It needs a special fertilizer for flowering plants (1-2 times spring after planting). We also add compost when we plant the plant.
Its flowers, monochromatic or bichromatic, single or double, are numerous and grow in groups, often covering the entire plant. Their color is in shades of white, red to deep blue. The phlox in our country is used as a spring annual and blooms from the end of spring until the whole summer.
