Blue Moon Woodland Phlox is a spreading semi-evergreen native perennial with small hairy dark green foliage. Dense clusters of fragrant blue-lavender flowers bloom for a month in mid spring attracting butterflies. Grows best in bright shade and rich, moist, and well-drained soils.
Phlox divaricata is a valuable early-season source of nectar for swallowtails, sphinx moths, and hummingbirds.
