Phlox grows well in both sun and partial shade, and even partial shade is preferable for them. In general, without any care, phlox can grow and bloom for up to 8 years, but their flowers gradually become smaller. Therefore, they sometimes need to be fed with organic matter or any flower fertilizer and watered abundantly from time to time - then the flowers will be large and the lower part of the stem will not be exposed. Once every 6 years they need to be divided: dig up and cut the rhizomes and move them to a new place. You can even divide the bush with a shovel right on the spot - dig up the bush, chop off part of the root and move it to another place, and fill the hole with the remaining part of the root again.
