“…Prior work on P. amabilis identified populations with three ploidies: diploids, tetraploids, and hexaploids (Fehlberg and Ferguson, 2012a, b). Cytotypic variation in other species of Phlox L. is well documented (Flory, 1934; Meyer, 1944; Levin, 1966; Smith and Levin, 1967; Levy and Levin, 1974; Worcester et al, 2012; Zale and Jourdan, 2015; Wright et al, 2016; Zale et al, 2016). Moreover, morphological (Zhang et al, 2008; Tiwari and Mishra, 2012) and ecological (Garbutt and Bazzaz, 1983; Vyas et al, 2007) effects of polyploidy have been documented in synthetic polyploids of other species of Phlox .…”

“…These creeping and freely spreading moss pinks are commonly cultivated as perennial plants in gardens. They are known for their easy cultivation and prolonged flowering period [3] . Planting Phlox seeds in outdoor settings is best done in the spring, particularly in regions with short growing seasons.…”

During the early spring in the woodlands of eastern North America, Phlox drummondii emerges as a perennial plant adorned with a profusion of blooms in shades of blue, purple, pink, or white. Its evergreen nature adds to its charm. To manage the growth of plants or specific plant parts, plant growth regulators (PGRs) are synthesized and employed, serving as valuable tools for controlling and directing the development of various plant species. A diverse range of ornamental plants, such as Phlox drummondii, have been documented to receive exogenous applications of plant growth regulators (PGRs). Among these regulators, gibberellins (GA) play a vital role by delaying senescence in flowers and promoting the breaking of dormancy in seeds, bulbs, and corms of ornamental plants. The experiment aimed to assess the performance and determine the optimal growth medium for Phlox. Five distinct growth media were employed as treatments during the study, which took place in the Horticulture Department of Gomal University. Collected data underwent analysis through ANOVA and Tuckey HSD tests. The study’s findings revealed that the highest plant height (16 cm) was observed in the control treatment with PGR 1, closely followed by PGR 2 (11.5 cm). The treatment labeled as T5, composed of a mixture of 1/3 sand, 1/3 poultry manure, and 1/3 soil, demonstrated the most favorable results across multiple parameters such as bud initiation (BI), first flower emergence (FFE), flowers per plant (FPP), branches per plant (BPP), leaves per plant (LPP), number of roots (NR), field life of flowers (FLF), and flower diameter (FD). T4, T3, T2, and T1 treatments also exhibited similar positive outcomes, aligning with the promising performance of T5.
