Wanted to show you all that there ARE seeds in the spent tops of Phlox.
Just look closely--and you will see the developing seed cases.
When they turn brown--pick them. I think there is 1 or 2 lg. seed in them.

Have you ever looked? Ever wonder how long it would take to grow
a Phlox from seed? Just somewhere out of the way....drop some...
I would love to grow A FEW MORE phlox DAVID....Only have one so far.
have picked a few seeds...very few....

Here is a close-up of the seeds in the spent "heads" of the Phlox.
