Introducing Wild Blue Phlox, a beloved woodland wildflower that carpets spring gardens with fragrant blue blooms. This native perennial thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8 and produces clusters of soft lavender-blue flowers in mid to late spring.

Wild Blue Phlox's preference for partial shade makes it ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, and under deciduous trees. Growing 12-15 inches tall, it spreads to form attractive colonies that naturalize beautifully.

This native beauty is an important nectar source for spring butterflies, including swallowtails, and long-tongued bees. The sweet fragrance adds another dimension to the spring garden.

Fun Fact: Wild Blue Phlox is also known as "woodland phlox" and "sweet William," though it is not related to the European Sweet William (Dianthus).

Bring the charming Wild Blue Phlox to your shade garden and enjoy its carpet of fragrant spring blooms.
