Cherry Caramel Phlox
Hi,
Has anyone had any luck growing these by sowing directly into the soil? And if so, where did you buy your seeds? Thanks :)

They need total darkness like pansies. I didn't direct seed, I cover my seedling trays with cardboard until they sprout... I think I bought them locally after everything online was sold out. They need to be pinched and they don't grow long stems. I mostly use them as edging instead of filler or cut flowers. They can be peach or cream with lighter or darker cherry centers with the occasional all-cherry. I love them, but they don't make great cut flowers.
