Description
The Phlox Drummondii 'Dwarf Beauty' Mix, also known as Drummond's Phlox, is a collection of dwarf annuals. These beautifully brighten the edges of flower beds with their compact and bushy habit. Their numerous small white, pink, red, and purple flowers bloom from June to August and delight butterflies. Easy to grow, this mix requires no maintenance and allows for creating bouquets throughout the summer.
The Phlox Drummondii gets its name from a Scottish naturalist, Thomas Drummond, who discovered this plant in the Texas prairies in 1830. This species is small (15 to 30 cm (6 to 12in) tall) and forms a bushy clump. Its leaves are green lanceolate and create a dense background that bears panicles of various colours. These panicles consist of multiple tubular flowers (about 2 cm (1in)) with five lobes. They have a slight fragrance and add undeniable charm to romantic gardens. They prefer a sunny exposure and fertile soil to bloom abundantly. Don't hesitate to give them water in case of prolonged dryness and place them in well-drained soil.
The vibrant and intense colours of the 'Dwarf Beauty' Mix Phlox will be perfect for bordering pathways and accentuating flower beds. With a few sowings, you will obtain a variety of tones that will brighten the summer, leaving monotony and uniformity behind.

Planting and care
The Phlox Drummondii 'Dwarf Beauty' Mix should preferably be sown indoors in a seed tray from March onwards. If your climate is mild, you can even start in February, as the seeds can germinate as soon as the temperatures range between 13 and 15°C (55.4 and 59°F).
Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost (1 to 2 mm (0in)) that you will keep slightly moist and place in the sun (essential for germination). They will sprout between 10 and 21 days. When the seedlings are large enough to be transplanted and the frost period is over, you can plant them. Choose a fairly well-drained soil, if possible rich and in the sun.
You can also sow them directly in place after loosening the surface soil. Place one seed every 10/15 cm (4/6in).
Phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew, so you can perform a preventive treatment and water the plant base rather than the foliage.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
