separating dwarf flame phlox

Question

I bought two 2 gal. pots of dwarf flame phlox. Can I separate the flowers in the pot to plant in my garden? I am hoping to be able to separate the flowers.

Yes, you can spilt the Phlox, but I would wait until fall or at least until they are done flowering.

Then make the divisions and water well.
