For the successful cultivation of Phlox 'Tecumseh', choosing the right location is absolutely crucial. This perennial, growing to a height of 80 to 100 cm, thrives best in a sunny spot or in light partial shade. Although it loves the sun, which promotes abundant blooming and an intense scent, it will appreciate protection from the most blazing midday heat, which could burn the leaves. The soil should ideally be loamy, rich in humus, and above all well-draining, yet capable of retaining moisture. Before planting the seedling itself, we recommend deeply loosening the soil and enriching it with well-rotted compost, which will supply the necessary nutrients for the start.
When planting, make sure to maintain a sufficient distance, the so-called spacing, which should be approximately 50 cm. Phloxes need space around them for good air circulation. This is the best natural prevention against fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew, to which phloxes can be susceptible, although the 'Tecumseh' cultivar shows higher natural resistance. Plant the seedling as deep as it grew in its container and water it thoroughly after planting. If you plan to grow it in containers, choose a really large and deep pot with a drainage layer, because in a small volume of soil the plant would quickly dry out and suffer from stress.
During the growing season, especially in the hot summer months when the plant blooms, regular watering is essential. Always water directly to the roots and try not to soak the leaves, which again reduces the risk of powdery mildew developing. In the spring, support the plant with a full fertilizer for perennials, and in the autumn you can mound up some compost. Watch out for slugs, which love to feast on young shoots. Continuously remove faded inflorescences; this will promote the setting of new flowers and extend the blooming period, or you can cut them into a vase, where they will last up to ten days.
Phlox 'Tecumseh' is a fully frost hardy perennial (down to -34 °C), so it handles our winter without problems and does not require special winter protection unless you are growing the plant in a container – there it is advisable to wrap the pot with jute or polystyrene. In the spring, you simply remove the old stems and make room for new sprouting shoots.
