Blue Moon Woodland Phlox features profuse, deep violet-blue flowers that bloom in the spring. The mass of fine green foliage transforms to a striking burgundy in fall, adding year-round interest to the garden. |
Phlox divaricata 'Blue Moon' is a perennial wildflower known for its vibrant, deep violet-blue blooms that appear in profusion from early spring to late summer. This native plant, also called woodland phlox, thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils. Its trailing, fine green foliage not only provides ground cover but also turns an attractive burgundy in winter, enhancing seasonal interest. 'Blue Moon' is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, borders, or naturalized areas, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees.
