Hello Stew family!
Does anyone know anything about garden phlox on how to get the seeds or cut them off for next year. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Margie

Garden Phlox will bloom again if you deadhead it. After it is done blooming, there are seedheads where the blooms were. You need to wait until they turn brown to harvest the seeds.
In the late fall after they have been hit with frost I cut my phlox to the ground.
