best planting time

When is the best time of year to plant emerald pink phlox?

Doug says you can do it either first thing in the spring (best) or fall (second best) or any time you get a plant that's been grown in the pot (third best). The "anytime" planting simply means you really have to watch the watering and make sure the plant never suffers water stress. There's more room for error in cool spring and fall weather with watering.
