How to Water perennial phlox?

Thriving in its native rich, moist soil, garden phlox exhibits a preference for consistent moisture, mirroring the conditions of its origin. With a moderate drought tolerance, it maintains a balance by preferring regular hydration without being waterlogged. The ideal watering regimen for garden phlox is once every week to sustain its lush growth. Typically grown outdoors due to its affinity for full sun exposure, garden phlox benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and reduce the need for frequent watering during the peak growing season.
