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.

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region.
It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
