Phlox divaricata ‘Blue Moon‘ is a handsome compact cultivar of our native woodland phlox. Plants have semi-evergreen lance shaped deep green leaves. In early spring, foliage is topped by loose clusters of large showy bluish lavender flowers. ‘Blue Moon‘ is an excellent wildflower for shade.
Best grown in humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Prefers rich, moist, organic soils. Appreciates a light summer mulch which helps retain moisture and keep roots cool. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
