Maintenance:

To keep your Phlox sub. 'Emerald Cushion' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

1. Sunlight: Plant your 'Emerald Cushion' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal flowering.

2. Watering: Provide regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as Phlox plants prefer well-drained soil. Water at the base of the plant to prevent moisture on the foliage, which can lead to diseases.

3. Soil: 'Emerald Cushion' thrives in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter such as compost or peat moss to improve drainage and fertility.

4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the manufacturer's instructions. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant flowering.

5. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from diverting energy to seed production. This will also help maintain a tidy appearance.

6. Division: Every few years, consider dividing the clumps of 'Emerald Cushion' to rejuvenate the plant and maintain its vigor. Spring or early fall is the ideal time for division.

7. Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids or powdery mildew. Monitor your plants regularly and take appropriate action if any issues arise. Consider using organic pest control methods whenever possible.
