Flox Drummonda For several years now - one of the favorites on my balcony. This annual surprisingly love of life and generously dispersed his bright beauty not only to me, but also all around.
Grow phlox through seedlings. Sowing seeds in early March to a depth of 1 cm, crops cover the food film. Days after 10-12. 
several sections appear together. Immediately put them on the windowsill, closer to the light. As soon as the temperature on the balcony is installed above 15 °, I get toddlers to the balcony. I dive twice: in the phase of 3-4 leaves and in transplanting to a permanent place in the box. After the second diver, the highest bushes pinch so that they grow fluffy and flat. Noticed that phloxes love neutral soil. When I made a universal suicide soil, the tips of the leaves dried, as if burned.
I corrected the mistake by sprinkling on top of the wood ash, the flowers immediately began to grow quickly.
I have a balcony in the north-west, the sun appears after 15 hours. From the sun, I do not give a plant, but I try to hide abundantly in the morning.
Blossom starts at the beginning of June and continues until mid-end of August. For this, I regularly remove faded inflorescences. Otherwise, seeds ripen, on -What the plant spends additional forces to the detriment of flowering. In addition, seeds are inexpensive and deffficer, so it is easier and safer to buy them.
And what perfection and grace in Flowers Flox DrummondaLucky Their petals of the most diverse color - from pure-white, gentle pink, light-lilac tones to flaming scarlet, red, burgundy and purple with eye or border. I tender them as an asterisk for the original shape of a flower with long rays. And in the evenings they are surprisingly smelling. And so nice warm evenings to admire beauty and enjoy thin fragrance of phloxes!
