How easy/hard is growing phlox?

I planted some several years ago and now have a 5ft. by 3ft. patch that is fantastic. I fertilize in spring and early summer and water when needed.





Mine are just striking and draw compliments from the neighbors every spring. Downside is the blooming period is relatively short....but wonderful.





I think they are easy to grow.
