Propagation is from cuttings and division. Best propagation time is in the fall and spring

How to Propagate by Dividing http://www.greendealer-exotic-seeds.com/...





PROPAGATION. Phloxes are propagated by division of the clumps, which should be done every three years, for they tend to weaken in the center; by seeds, which may give many new and interesting colors and types, but usually resulting in magentas and muddy colors; by cuttings made from the stems. Dividing of the clumps should be done in the Fall or in earliest Spring before much growth has been made. Commercial nurseries propagate by root cuttings. The roots are cut into 2inch pieces early in Spring or Fall and sown in flats, much as seeds are treated. http://www.backyardgardener.com/pren/pg8...
