How do you start pink creeping phlox?

It came in a bag not in a pot. Looks more like a mixture of grass, dirt and saw dust?

How do you start pink creeping phlox?
the grass is the creeping phlox plant...the dirt was probaly connected to the phlox at one time,,,the sawdust is just used to keep the moisture in during transport...creeping phlox is started by division, so you must have ordered it and they sent you a small division or cluster of the plant, hopefully with the roots attached...plant it with the roots barely covered and the "grass" above the ground in a good potting mix in a shady spot until you are sure it is growing...its hard to get it started from a small division so all I can say is good luck!
Reply:I just planted 15 plants this spring, and they are all growing very well.





I planted them on a hill where the soil is well drained. I watered it every day for about 2 1/2 weeks until is showed sings of growing. (New shoots) Now I water it about once a week if it hasn't rained.





They like well drained soil, but need regular moisture. I keep all the other vegetation cut back until that start growing and spreading so that they can take over. They are in full sun and they seem to like it, because they have more than doubled in about a month and a half.





Next year they should be less maintenance.





Good luck
