Alternatively, a springtime application of a slow release fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet.
Pruning:
Woodlander Pink Phlox should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
