Propagating Tall Phlox
Greetings, I've got a single stem garden phlox, sapinaria officionalis.
It's come back each spring for 3 years but has not multiplied. There was still only a single stem last summer. Any ideas how to propagate this plant? Thanks! Peace! Dan D. Louisville Ky good ole USA http://ky-dan.com E-mail kydan at myrealbox dot com |

Any ideas how to propagate this plant? Thanks! Dan, Why would you want to propagate a poisonous weed? Ah, building a playground, are we? Any how Saponaria officionalis has a hollow stem so cuttings won't work. You could pinch off the new growth and force branching or you could dig the plant up and try to divide the rhizomes. I would wear gloves. Pretty flower, by the way, looks like Pinwheel Jasmine (T. divaricata) that we have in zone 10. |

Searching on "saponaria propagation" (note spelling) on Google produced
1,400 links. You might try the same. --beeky Dan D. wrote: Greetings, I've got a single stem garden phlox, sapinaria officionalis. It's come back each spring for 3 years but has not multiplied.

Propagating Tall Phlox
What did you use as a root barrier?
-- -- Sam Along the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach,SC cliped (We also have soapwort and it propagates itself just fine!! In fact it's invasive so we've put a root barrier around it to keep it in check.) Obviously the label that came with the plant was wrong. What I have apparently is Phlox paniculata 'Nicky' Summer Garden Phlox and I'm still searching for ways to multiply this fragrant flower! Thanks again! Peace!! Dan D.
